GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I enjoy attending this school as it is a place of diversity. The academics are challenging, but it benefits the students when they go to college.

Bard was a great introductory to college that I am glad I received. However, this school is not for everyone. If you have a strong interest in the arts, this school is not meant for you. It is a great school if you know for a fact that you would like to go to college especially if you desire to receive your masters and PhD. I wished certain classes were offered in the college portion as well as better emotional support.
