Not excellent but average. Students might experience bullying and not so much extracurriculars to follow.
6/3/2024
The school isn't good or bad, it's okay. You for sure get prepared for college for all four years, and can even get a CTE certification. It's not really diverse since it's a school aimed at freshly arrived Latino students and others of Hispanic background. The staff are generally great and are very helpful

Manhattan bridges high is a great school and community. Everyone is connected, both parents and students. The school is small so no students are left out. One bad thing is that there is little ethnic diversity because it is an hispanic only school. Overall the school prepares you for university.
