Binghamton High School

i need a jobs and i want my old jobs back working with food it was fun working with food and people and i realy could used my old jobs back.

You can't always judge a school by standardized test scores. Not all schools with great score are great schools. But scores can reveal some things.Few schools with terrible scores are great schools. Nearly 70% of the IB tests taken scored less than a 3. Regent test scores are terrible with many failing and a shockingly low percent scoring 85 or above. SAT scores are low and IB scores appear unavailable. I'm sure there are some very good things about the school but schools with great scores also have those things.

My high school student is now starting at BHS and I must say that the staff is wonderful. Very caring and also observant. Each student gets a locker and the guidance counselor has already called us to fill us in even though school starts next week. We received mail to inform us about the school cafateria and my student was given a study group to help her along. I just love Binghamton!! If you want to challenge your student further you can always put them in another district. BHS is great for those who need a caring environment with lots of support. Shouldn't every district provide that?

I love Binghamton Schools!!!

BHS is best of district-others are worse. Offers AP & IB. Test scores lousy. Poor graduation rate. Poor curriculum from K on so kids not prepared for HS.Most fail Regent Exams-few do well . Curriculum & expectations are very low & the work is a couple of years below grade level. Academics are not taken seriously by the administrators.Kids are not expected to work very hard or learn much. Most kids are not headed for college. Look at the state report cards before deciding on this system. There are defenders but the data does not lie. Look at the report cards before moving to this county.

I graduated from BHS in 2000. The teachers are excellent. I love the diversity of the students. I would recommend this school to anyone who asked.

Binghamton high over the years has been given a very bad and in my mind unfair reputation, but being a graduate of the school my self in 2000 and now looking forward to my daughter going to my school it means so much. The teachers are very careing and the sports teams rock ( go patriots ) our ciriculum could use a update but for the most part its good. Binghamton high offers many different forms of ciriculum for all different types of learning abilities.

Binghamton High School is a fantastic institution. They have many different levels of classes to suit each students needs and they have great support systems. The International Baccelaureate system as well as the AP classes are amazing for college prep. The IB and AP teachers really know their information and enjoy their subjects. The homework load could probably be increased from my own experience as well as the strictness of the regents level teachers in order to get the students who aren't enthusiastic about school focused on their work. Overall, I would recommend Binghamton High School to any parent, especially if they have high aspirations for their children

Binghamton is a great school system. My daughter has went the district from PreK and now is in 12th. All along the way we have had wonderful caring teachers, who go beyond the call of duty. If the child wants an education, the best is available in Binghamton. In High school we have had wonderful experiences with college connection and guidance councelors. I rank this school among the best.

It has been my experience that the school is a very high standard and very expectational school. The school sets the goals for the students and then wishes the students to fulfill them. I personally believe that the students should be setting the goals with minor guidence. My daughter attends this school and she has come home many times saying the the standerds that she has to measure up to are far to hard to accomplish. We sit down every night for an hour or more doing homework that she has obtained for 3 or four different classes. That in my opinion is far to much time to be doing homework for 3 or 4 classes. I hope this school realizes before it's too late that the students need a break from 'Military School' and need to be spending some time in a 'public' school.
