I am presently a teacher at BHS as well as an alumni. The teaching staff is undoubtedly superior if the children in the class are willing to learn. Unfortunately, many of the children in front of us today are unwilling. Granted there are stil lthe special few, who yes do happen to be mostly honors students
... Read more who do care. I read many comments about homework not being assigned. HW is indeed assigned, unfortunately only about 20% of the students complete it. If parents will look at the Bayonne Board of Ed website and look up the teacher calendars, you will see a day by day listing of homework, readings, papers, and tests assigned. If parents truly believe their children when they say no HW is assigned, I challenge you to check into it yourself. Read less

This school has gone through many changes, as all schools have, but sadly the changes here are for the worst. The teachers, not all, are political appointments, so their jobs are safe no matter how badly they teach and believe me there are a lot of bad ones. Safety is a big issue and this school has

I am a parent of a special needs child in this school, and as far as i am concerned, the program is worthless. They, the school system is more concerned about the other children. And you never hear anything about the programs for the special needs children. My daughter is 16 and she can't read yet.And

I am a graduate of BHS, and after spending 4 years in the College Prep program, I still did not feel ready for college. A lot of the teachers did not teach, or give homework. There are some teachers who would rather talk to the students about their family than about history. I failed US 1 because of

There is no way that this could be a reflection of me. 90% of my summer school class took that teacher. I had a 50 in his class and a 96 in summer school. I am on the Dean's List in college, and its sad to say that BHS did not help me acheive that...I did it all on my own. Read less

I'm not exactly a parent, but a current student. Honestly they put more work into the honors batch than any other. Level a is a kick over for many persons. Honors people from time to time act superior and snobbish. There's not enough challenge or any kind stim for those us who are stuck for the want
... Read more of people forgetting stuff. Having new teachers just brings down things too with inexperience and students who were promoted when barely passed by. There are those of us who suffered the grievous mistakes of the school board's plan of changing grammar school every 2 years that included myself as a child and now i'm in the edifice of it all. For once could the people running this system get it right and separate those of us who want to learn from those who could care less. I'm tired of either being bored for the lack of passion in the studies or annoyed for being pushed to hard... learning is to be what helps you succeed the best not some darn quotas set to be filled... education is more than this.

I feel that not enough effort to teach the avarage student is given. The children in the honors courses are definitly given more importance, while the ones that are not, are lost in the abiss. I'm very disappointed.
