GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I really enjoy being at Bayside; there are some amazing teachers and great classes that challenge me and are preparing me for college. The one thing I dislike is that administration treats all students with initial anger/suspicion.

Bayside is a nice school that challenges your knowledge and skills. The teachers are nice and so are the other staff but there are a lot of bad parts to it. The lunch food and there not being enough activity's that actually caught the students attention. And also the school and teachers spoil the students that are in the academy.

Not safe. My child is in the Health Sciences Academy, but will return to his zoned school for his last two years of high school. This school is not safe, due primarily to the principal's laid back views on bullying and violence in his school. I have met with him twice, and he is very unconcerned abo...
