Bronx High School of Science Reviews
Rating 3.89 out of 5 1,051 reviews
Excellent academics, almost every AP possible offered, lots of students taking post AP classes. Large school (~2800 kids), but brilliant student body with a wide range of interests and passions. This is the school where one can find high performing athletes with interests in performing arts and computers science or biology or math or physics or engineering. As one of the Specialized high school of the city, students come from all boroughs, making a 2-4 hours daily commute a regular part their 4-year high school journey. Very large number of clubs, sports, student activities.
Teachers and administrators are top notch and dedicated.
Perfect? Of course not, as it is after all a public school, but the Alumni foundation and the Parent Association are extremely active and generous both with time and resources to make up for what the Dept of Education budget does not cover.
Go Wolverines!

Bronx Science is a very challenging school. Sometimes you may forget but all the students, classmates and friends, are hardworking and intelligent. There are a large variety of classes to choose from, especially science courses. Not only does it have great educational opportunities, it also hosts a bunch of clubs that you may join based on sports, arts, games, education, and any other interests. Do not forget that you will be challenged in your classes but don’t forget to have fun!
I had a great experience at Bronx Science! I will forever cherish the friendships and memories I made during my 4 years at high school there. I always found that my fellow peers helped me grow and mature and pushed me to be better. I loved the majority of my teachers and felt that if you were willing to put in the effort to be engaged in their classes, they would return the favor and put in effort on their end to really help you succeed. With many of my teachers I felt like I created strong connections with them that further helped me excel in the classroom, as well as grow as a person.
