I am currently attending Bergen County Technical High School in Teterboro. Overall, I enjoy going here! However, when it comes to academics, this school is very challenging. The change from 8th grade to a freshman at BT was insane! The workload was very different from my district town's. I would say that this is also a very stress-inducing school, thus why I am putting down four stars.

Your experience is dependent upon the teachers you get, as well as the classes you take, as they help shape your high school life. Some teachers genuinely care about your personal development and your comprehension of the material, while others give you work without caring if you understand the work you're being given. The competitive environment can be detrimental but can actually motivate you to try to do better and aim for higher goals. The school also gives you easy access to AP and dual enrollment classes, which boosts the rigor of your course load. However, they still place an emphasis on personal development and try to decrease the stress felt by students. There are resources available for any issues you have.
As a former student of Bergen County Technical High School, I would say that the school definitely lives up to its name and high-ranking award ship. I was a part of the Law and Justice major from 2013-2017 and throughout this time I was definitely prepared for college. The workload is rigorous but professional staff and other resources are constantly available to talk and work with each individual student. The school is bound to a contract with Food Works and I must say the food was absolutely terrible. For a school who receives so much money, it was truly shocking that for years the administration ignored students' requests to allocate money to a better food provider. Ignoring that fact, the school is excellent and constantly progressing. I was thankful that I went to BCTHS and I give them credit for the success I continue to achieve in college.
