This is a high quality school with some of the best teachers possible. I am a graduate of the NLCS system and though there is a dud here and there, the system employees many highly qualified teachers who genuinely invest themselves in their students. I see that there are many poor reviews attacking teachers, but these are coming from people who also grew up in the system and hated individual teachers and continue to hold that grudge. Grow up.... These teachers push their students and expect effort and maturity. They work hard to prepare them for college and careers.
i have experienced faculty members at this school express entitlement and disregard to a parent's voice. i feel the reason some parents disconnect is because by the time their children have gone through bedford junior high with their children, there is a bad taste in their mouths and they simply give up. the principal at bedford junior was horrible and i am worried about my youngest now going to BNL. my oldest did fine and we had a little problem with the guidance counsel. but, she was a trooper and made good changes. i would not recommend NLCS district schools to anyone. ever.
The faculty is aweful here. They are disconnected. Hates parents. I can't wait until my kid is out of this school and finishes.
BNL really does spend way too much money on sports compared to non-athletic activities. The music department is funded mostly through fundraising, and everything used for Drama Club is bought by the students or teacher in charge of it. In addition, BNL really does not provide a high-quality education for non-honors students. Courses geared toward 'average' students are extremely basic, and there are no expectations of quality work from the students, leading to a general culture of non-academic emphasis.
