The school is phenomenal and offers a comprehensive liberal arts education, as well as countless extra curricular activities and many sports opportunities. Quite a few of the teachers have PhD's in their disciplines. The beautiful campus setting is in a category of its own! The big downside is the sky high tuition rate! As of today it's close to that of IVY league schools. If you can manage it, it's one of the greatest gifts that you can give to your children.

In most aspects, I am grateful for my education at the Bronx High School of Science. I feel very…read moreblessed to have enjoyed the benefits of the competitive environment. To this day, the institution's strong academic reputation is an asset to my resume. The school absolutely prepares you for college because Bronx Science kids are expected to meet incredibly high standards and deal with great demands. For all future students, take care to pack ONLY the necessities for school because it's a really long ride up if you don't live in the Bronx. Also, I recommend investing in a good computer scanner and lots of folders to stay organized for both academic as well as extracurricular ventures. This might be a little extreme, but retain the number of a reliable car service and carry emergency cab money on hand for safety's sake. Like the other reviewers, yes be careful of the students from DeWitt Clinton High School. They were never friendly and often acted in a hostile/threatening fashion whenever they encountered Bronx Science kids. I can't tell you how many times we had to deal with their racial slurs (because a majority of the student population come from an Asian-American background) and hatefulness.

I remember having to pitch to my parents the benefits of coming to school here. My father was like,…read more"why do you want to go to school in the Bronx again?" My nerd powers prevailed and I took the test and got in. Coming here was an interesting experience because although there were cliques and hierarchies, everyone was pretty smart and pretty focused on what they wanted to do with themselves. The only thing you had to watch out for were the creeps from DeWitt Clinton coming over and making a ruckus. I also remember Mr. Krutoy miming a worm on his desk, sitting outside in the hallways between classes listening to music with my bff (we lost touch when I left the country), skipping class in the nurses office and my first HS crush. The reason why this place get's an AOK was because the student body opted for using additional funds for a mural in the main lobby instead of renovating the gym and possibly getting a pool. Way to go geekwads.

They charged $5 for adults to see their kid swim and doesn't not guarantee seating! Although I understand they trying to make money for the school, that's a shame. Not only did they charge entrance to a completely packed swim seated area, where people were standing or had to sit on the floor but then they made more money from charging snacks. Also they charge different entrance fee for different days. My husband took my son during the week and he was charged $2 and I went Sunday for $5. I'm sure the school is great but from a parent that just want to see their child compete i found it crazy to pay and have to stand the whole 4 hours.
