I have two children that currently attend Bayview and I feel that there is an extreme lack of communication between the teachers and the parents. I have written numerous notes to both teachers requesting information regarding grades, events, etc. and have never received information in return. My daughter

The only response that I got was that the computers would adjust to her reading level. I would like to see more information sent home with the kids about what they will be doing in the upcoming weeks. Spelling words, Upcoming Tests, etc. It would be very helpful to know when we need to help our children study! Read less

I have a daughter that is in 1st grade here and my son graduated last summer after having been there since he was in Pre-K. I attended this school as a child too! I can't say enough good things about the teachers and staff here. They are always available and always a pleasure to talk to. The curriculum

Three of our four children started Bayview in January of 2006. Our family is very pleased with Bayview. There is a reasonable amount of homework provided and extra help is given by the school when a student is encountering difficulties. The teachers are very encouraging and we love the emphasis the
... Read more school places on Math (First in Math) and English/Reading (AR program). Many parents walk to school with their children and wait for them at the end of this day and this gives my wife and I a sense of community and opportunities to meet other parents. Our biggest complaint with the school is our children get a substitute teacher more often than we wpould like (mostly to fill in for teachers at meetings or conferences). We look forward to returing to Bayview in the fall. Read less

This school is like an extended family. Everyone takes great pride in this school. Overall, my kids had positive experiences. The only negative side to this school and schools in Virginia across the board is the amount of stress they put on the children regarding testing for the SOLs and the amount
... Read more of homework was excessive. Many parents voiced their concerns about the many hours of homework handed out daily to our children. My children were among the 'high achievers' cluster and most of the class was required to attend a 'stress management' counseling session in the guidance office. My kids are smart but generally don't stress about school or tests. They've attended several other schools and have never needed counseling for stress before or since. I feel this was a result of one teacher who put the kids on pins and needles about the SOL tests. Read less

I can tell you all three of my kids went to this school. I am excited about the music programs they do such a wonderful job with the strings programs.
