I heard that this is a great high school. I want my son to apply but we live in in a different city (Jersey City). Can we still apply if we live in a different city?

This school offers many opportunities for motivated students. Your child will be challenged academically if they so choose to be.

the so called "adult night high school" offers handouts to 17-19 year students as a way to pass time rather than actually give them a lesson! The night program also turns away many students upon arriving and sometimes does not mark them IN. Allowing absences to build until the motivated young adult goes away., nice program...guess it was a way for them to get $$. They once told a teen who was trying to enter the program that he was trespassing...yes TRESPASSING. Extremely disappointed parent...

Bayonne High School (BHS) is very large multi cultural school who's goal is to encourage students to strive in life and meet their goals. BHS has the tools and resources to be able to guide each and everyone of their students in the right direction due to their dedicated staff of teachers and multiple vice principals and especially their dedicated principal Richard Baccarella. Not only does BHS strive in academics but the school has an excellent athletic department. Their men and women's basketball teams are always ranked in the top 3 in Hudson County and even makes it all the way to the state playoffs, not to mention their competitive cheerleading team who won the National Championship. BHS also offers a variety of clubs which keep the students engaged in academics and forces them to work closely with their peers. Overall Bayonne High School is a successful school.

Great spirit, lovely teachers and the best counselors.

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 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.

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 poor safeguards. Fights are the rule and not the exception. Rarely does a day go by when the police are not called. My child will not be returning to Bayonne HIgh School

This is a great high school, they should have a dress code or possibly uniforms, other than that, a caring high school.
