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.

the teachers don't care your emotional state is but some do care and too bathrooms be smelling weird and alt of student curse a lot and some teachers I will fuss you out to be honest don't bring your kids here they make it hard to make learning fun andsome students will talk smack about you and laugh and if you have mental anger issues I don't recommend here a lot of stuff going on and some teachers if you say your feelings they will take it like oh well be like that

Good luck trying to find anything wrong with this school! The administration loves these kids and treats everyone like family. Never in my life have I experienced such a phenomenal school.
