Ok, yeah, it was difficult with the cuts and everything, but it's all coming back on track now. New school, new programs, etc. The parents are the only ones who really complain about this school, because of what they read in the paper and their child's complaints. Guess what? It's your kids fault. Your

The teacher could be a complete moron, but as long as the child wants to learn, he/she will do all the assignments and read everything given to them. It's all on the students, if they think they're not getting a good education, it's because they're not trying hard enough. And this is hard for parents to swallow because their child is 'smart.' Shut up and teach your kid better study habits. Read less

The teachers are so involved and take extra care that all students succeed. I am a senior at B-R and I am so sad to leave!

Reading some of these ratings, people say the school is horrible when it sounds as if they don't even have a child there. I am a student at BR, and it is the best choice I could have made. I have friends in public school, and sometimes we discuss topics we are both learning about. They complain they

I had gone to private school for eight years, and came here as a freshman. I couldn't believe how much more advanced the teaching was. Maybe some of these parents' children had a bad teacher, but I have no complaints. I don't understand why one would pay 7 grand and not get a valuable education as a public school. Read less

Speaking of my own daughters experience, I give B-R high marks for allowing her to florish and be accepted at a most selective Ivy level college. The school has been through tough times with budget cuts, but overall the teachers are excellent. Music and art were cut severely, and we had to pay activity

Sports are an important component of life at BR and once the new hs is completed, the options available for the kids will be fantastic. If you child is self motivated and a high achiever, they'll thrive here. On the down side; the budget cuts included slashing 8 grade languages, so when the student reaches senior year,they won't be have the opportunity to take AP Spanish, for example. I believe this is being addressed, but check it out before committing to BR. Read less

BR is a school in which few and far between would want to attend. The entire structure, both physically and academically, is weak. With impending dangers after the afraid-of-taxation town voted down the override, students could lose art, music, and physical education. How can a school with an already

It is only slightly disturbing when the school has two possible gas leaks during the school year within one week. How can the administration allow this to occur? They don't care enough. They chose to cut teachers yet none of the others have to worry. What ever happened to quality education? Read less

BR like the town of Bridgewater is in serious trouble. They have little funds,few programs and a growing student population. The town leaders intend to put forth a budget that has horrific cuts.

I am sorry that we have to send our son to this school. Two of my son's five teachers are a disgrace to my profession. As a high school teacher I can easily identify poor quality instruction when I see it. The administrators are not doing their job. Why is my son watching movies like 'Dante's Peak'

This school system is weak at best. It does not challenge the majority of students. Teachers are more concerned with getting home than staying to help students. The system has one of the highest payscales yet there are limited AP courses, few research papers are assigned and sports seem more important

It isn't the poor quality of the buildings that are the problem, it is the poor quality of academics. Top-heavy administration means fewer teachers available when budget cuts are made.
