As a parent of two students who graduated from Bayshore, I can highly recommend this school. It has excellent academic standards and curriculum through every grade, K3 - 12, and there is a strong 'family' focus on every grade level.

A year ago, I could not of ever imagined sending my kids anywhere else. BCS was like an extended part of the family. Fast forward a year and I can't get my son out of there fast enough. He learned to read in K4. The K5 teacher brought out the best of every child. He loved going everyday in 1st and wrote

He is going to need tutoring just to attend public school next year. The kids are allowed to yell and push each other. BCS has earned a reputation of sacrificing the good kids in the attempt to rehabilitate the bad. Well, they earned it! Many 'affluent ' families have left because of this. Big finanical problems. Sorry BCS, You dissapointed me. Read less

My daughter is a first year kindergarten (K-5) student. The community at the school is so wonderful. She has a great teacher that is so good with the children I swear that she must be a Jedi as I've never seen anybody get a room full of children to quiet down with nary a word being spoken. The parent

The party was very nice and was open to all, regardless of socio-economic status. The parents here just have such a commitment to their children and each other it is so wonderful. A new principal was just hired and his leadership is amazing. He is bringing good things here that will allow BCS to be one of the best schools in the state! Read less

My child has attended BCS for the past 5 years. We have seen a a change in the way the school has been run, as well as a drastic shift in the overall system. It has been somewhat disappointing. With several headmaster changes, it has affected the overall school performance and attitude. The current

They do lack extracurricular activities, with pre/post school care programs not at the level they should be. The lunches still need improvement. Yes, you donate or participate in fundraisers (1 per quarter) but most schools execute these same types of activities. There are some excellent teachers that provide education. The K4, K5 and 2nd grade teachers are incredible. We will not enroll our child next year at BCS. Read less

I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old attending Bayshore currently. Compared to Providence Christian School in Brandon, this school is fantastic!

I've gone to Bayshore since pre-school. I am about to graduate high school now. I left during middle school, but eventually came back. Why did I come back?
