We love Bay Park! My son just completed kindergarten, so we've only been here for a year but our experience so far has been very positive. There is a wonderful, community-like feeling here and lots of parent involvement, which can only spell success for the children. Our teacher did an excellent job

One thing I really like is the daily Morning Assembly, where students line up w/their class on the blacktop at the start of each school day for the Pledge of Allegiance, a song and important announcements. It makes you feel really tuned in, as a parent. I am sad to say, though, that Mr. T is not returning to Bay Park this coming school year. The new principal has some big shoes to fill! Read less

All of my children went to Bay Park. Two of my children did well and enjoyed the school. The early grade teachers (K through 2) are fantastic as well as an amazing 5th grade teacher. My children loved him! We would like to have had extracurricular activites, but there weren't any (at that time). The

One of my children had learning disabilities and I do NOT reccomend Bay Park for children with special needs. Check out other programs and meet the resource specialist before enrolling. I wish I would have done that. My son hated school. He left the school and did much better in another program. My other children attended Bay Park from K through 5th and overall had a good experience. Read less

This is a terrific school! I have one child who requires more help and resources in order to excel and one who excels easily and needs greater challenges. Both get their needs met and exceeded. The principal, teachers and support staff are exemplary!
