I graduated earlier this year and honestly I loved this school. I graduated early which the school made it a very easy process for me. This school has a bad reputation but you will find it is because most people still hold prejudices. As long as you dont start problems with anyone, they will not start with you. Most of my teachers were amazing and extremely understanding of kids who struggle with mental health, there was only one teacher that I really didnt like. I took AP, honors, and core classes and I would say I learned a lot from every single class. The academics are actually good here, it doesn't really reflect though because many students are not motivated to do their work, which the school does try to improve. The counselors are amazing! They actually care about you and will take time out of their day to make sure you are okay. Especially Ms. Frye who literally saved me my last year just by listening to me. Many good resources for tutoring, college help, financial aid and scholarship help. As a student, going to school here was so fun because almost everyone gets along and bullying isnt really an issue at Bayside, although people could be more kind to students with disabilities from what I have noticed. The principal, Mr. Walton is very laid back and very respectful. Some staff members almost have control issues and do way too much. If your a parent worried about sending your kid here, dont even worry. In the years that I was there they did not tolerate fighting or violence at all. There is also an entire team of security as well as one or two police officers on campus at all time. Honestly, I miss this school it was hilarious and as a kid with a not so good home life, this school was my escape and I enjoyed coming everyday because of the people there.

One teacher won’t let us go to the bathrooms or council other students cuss disrespectful and aggroant as a person with anger issues I don’t recommend I rarely find nice students the school have a lot of vandalism in boys bathroom as I saw someone draw a swatsika in one of the boys bathroom the students will even pick on you sometimes and laugh at you for anything these days

Needs better administrators for black communities more compassion and understanding

Teachers care more about what the others doing than teaching the children, the teachers need to teach and not bring extra garbage. Felt like some situations was racist, but look at the school. Overall Ive seen kids go to this school and do the opposite when it comes to behavior . I see it's the teachers who just collect a pay check.

Great school, some issues have been swept under the rug when it comes to behavior. I dont trust the school system at all so be mindful
