One of the worst experiences is the hallway bridge, which is congested even if you are supposed to follow the correct path but don’t usually go that way. Students are going in the opposite direction. This causes delays in going to your next class. The other bad experiences are that fights break out during lunchtime or in the hallways.
I’ve been here since freshman year and I can’t complain about the staff or teachers. The counselor is there to help anyone who needs it emotionally or academically. If a teacher sees you need additional help they will call you for additional extra help.
The high school is full of diverse students, and we all do our best to get along.

Fights break out mostly in cafeteria periods and there are multiple online school pages (run by students) promoting bullying and hurting inclusivity. Teachers who instruct lower leveled classes (Level B, Level A) stigmatize students, but those who teach the higher leveled classes (Honors, AP) encourage the students leading to more improvement. Security is at an all time high, but they mostly pick kids that they know don't have anything bad in their backpack rather than suspicious ones, to make their jobs easier. Some teachers do not have active participation throughout the year but fake it during teacher evaluations.

Throughout my 4 years of being at Bayonne High School, I have learned lots of new interesting things about the real world to prepare myself for college. I have made lots of new and amazing friends that have supported me throughout my 4 years of being there. When it comes to sports at Bayonne High School it is nice to have your teammates support you and be there for you. And I have made a great bond with all of my teachers and staff that work there. One thing I would like to see change at Bayonne High School is the decrease of fights and also better trips for seniors.
