meh, bad school honestly. Graduated this school 2 years ago and as one of the “smart and good students,” I wouldn’t recommend it. You can absolutely do better and choose for your kid. Honestly if you want your child to go to this school, transfer when they go to 8th grade because the other two years are absolutely useless. The 6th grade math teacher teaches you random things that youll never use in the future. The 6th grade social studies who favored me does not even check your work. I honestly sped ran it each time, copying random parts that seemed important and as long as the paper was filled fully, its a 10/10. The only good classes are the 8th grade math teacher, the PE teachers, english and the computer science teacher. History is also pretty nice but the history 8th grade teacher can be a bit well.. She criticized me for having a B in her class. Truly absurd. We had the opportunity to have a student teacher who was dedicated so we were able to learn and he was a great man who was passionate and fun. The 8th grade history actual teacher on the other hand is very boring so after we left many students including myself lost motivation. You learn the most in 8th grade math and english. In art, you practically do nothing the entire class, so choose computer science as your elective, you dont do that much work but you still learn and its really hands on, engaging and fun.

Overall Ross is a good school. It is a small school which is nice. Most teachers and staff know the kids names and care about their home life as well.

Horrible. It offers two honors classes, so students applying to good colleges can't compete unless they have a super high SAT score, because of the lack of rigor. When you complain or file a legitimate grievance, they blacklist you and take it out on your child including not nominating them for scholarships, not completing forms for college applications, etc. They are absolutely horrible. The teachers are decent. The principal is the worst I've ever seen. She cares more about herself and how she looks than the students. I had a student with a 4.0 that was denied admission by several colleges just because the school never submitted the documents needed, in spite of being request months in advance. If you want your child to go to college, don't go here. The student that said they had a 4.5 - that is a lie - with only the 2 honors courses, a 4.5 GPA is absolutely impossible.

I’m an early graduating senior, an opportunity open to anyone willing to stay on track and work hard. I’m currently participating in one of the school’s unique experiences - by graduation, I will be a certified emergency medical technician (EMT), a unique program offered by the school. I also have a friend in the certified nurses assistant program, and they will be a CNA by graduation. Incredible opportunities not available elsewhere as far as I know. Many of us have also graduated with about a year of college already done, thanks to the dual enrollment program with mesa college up the road. Thanks for a great four years, Kearny BST.

The school was decent mediocre teachers that just want the paycheck. I remember taking biology here and getting this crazy teacher named Horowitz that to this day I don't know if she was bipolar or hated life or both. So, advice is to just switch out if she even still teaches there, and make sure to follow the very strict dress code.
