Bergen Arts and Science Charter School (BASCS/Bergen ASCS) is a public charter school based in Garfield, New Jersey, United States. The school is a part of the North Jersey Arts and Science Charter Schools. The network consists of Bergen-ASCS Elementary in Garfield, Bergen-ASCS Middle High in Hackensack, and Passaic-ASCS Elementary and Building #2 in Passaic.

Contents

The school opened in September 2007 for grades K–5 and added a new grade every year until it reached the 12th grade. In 2011, it expanded with the establishment of the Bergen Arts and Science Charter School Middle High in Hackensack and Passaic Arts and Science School in Passaic. After the expansion was complete, Bergen Arts and Science Charter School moved its 7th and 8th grade to Bergen Arts and Science Charter School Middle High. [4]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,253 students and 82.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.3:1. There were 457 students (36.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 207 (16.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. [2]

Expansion

In 2011, BASCS expanded into two new schools: BASCS Middle High and Passaic Arts and Science Charter School, bringing the charter's total number of schools to three. Both BASCS Middle High and Passaic Arts and Science Charter School began operating in the 2011–12 school year.

As of March 2020, the charter had a total of six schools: one in Clifton, three in Garfield, one in Hackensack, three in Passaic, two in Paterson, and three in Hudson.

Athletics

The mascot of BASCS is the Yellow Jacket. [3] Athletically, the school participates in the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference, which comprises small-enrollment schools in Bergen, Hudson, Morris and Passaic counties and was created following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). [5] [6] [7]

In the 2015–16 school year, the school had 187 students in grades 10–12. As such, the NJSIAA classified the school as North I Group I, a group that included schools with an enrollment of 187 to 490 students in that grade range, for most athletic competition purposes. [8]
