One of my kids is currently attending Bay High School, and the other graduated after receiving a fantastic education through the AICE program. The AICE director and counselors have been incredibly helpful, supportive, and easy to work with throughout the years. Although we were zoned for a different high school, it quickly became clear—by the second day of the school year—that it wasn’t going to be the right fit for my child. I reached out to Mrs. Bland, the AICE director at Bay High, on a Friday afternoon. To my surprise and relief, she responded almost immediately with a clear explanation of the transfer process and timeline. She had mentioned things could be ready by Monday or Tuesday, but I was amazed to receive a follow-up email from her the very next day—on a Saturday—confirming that everything was in place for my child to start on Monday morning. It was such a reassuring and encouraging experience, and I knew right then that we had made the right choice. It was truly a great start.Every teacher they’ve had has been dedicated, knowledgeable, and committed to their students’ success. I’d like to especially commend the AP Calculus teacher, whose passion for teaching and ability to explain complex concepts made a significant impact. Bay High’s academic environment and the dedication of its staff have truly prepared my kids for college and beyond.

My son has been here since 2023. He is in an ESE classroom; the teacher and paraprofessionals are just wonderful. He has come so far since coming to this school.

I'm a student at Jinks, there is vaping in bathrooms, which leads to the smoke detectors going off and everyone in there being searched, which leads to less class time, fights every other day, some teachers are good at what they do and work efficiently with students hands on, while others neglect the needs of students. I have a 504 plan that has specific instructions and it's been ignored by 3/7 of my teachers, 2 of those classes are electives, making it 3/5. I was suspended for 10 days, (out of school) for something I didn't even do and instead of looking into it I was told "who should we believe you or her." I had never had a referral out of all my school years and it ruined my chances of being a collegiate. I would rather move to rutherford where they actually teach their kids, although both schools have most of the same negatives. There is only one counselor here for 8th graders, and she's been rude and snappy with me every time i've gone to her. A few of my teachers won't answer me or my parents'emails, and when i ask about it, they say "I don't have to" Which you don't, but you should because it's part of what you signed up for. This school sucks.
