Bronx Haven is haven sent. My son was behind in his credits, hating and cutting school for over a year. We found Bronx Haven and in one year he has received 3 perfect attendance awards a best student award and he loves going to school. I no longer have to bug him about his school work or even getting up in the morning. Bronx Haven High School is the best.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Regents Examinations to test high school students in English, math, global history and geography, US history and government, living environment, chemistry, Earth science and physics. Students must take at least five Regents Exams in order to graduate. Scores of 65 and above are passing; scores of 55 and above earn credit toward a local diploma (with the approval of the local board of education). The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
