Bay Park Elementary School

Completely disappointed in our experience here. Bullying, mistreatment of others, and unacceptable student behavior/conduct is a rampant and consistent problem at this school. Students are not held accountable for their actions at all. Teachers just look the other way, have a passive and dismissive attitude, and nothing is ever addressed. Most parents believe that education involves more than academic development...it also involves social development of the student in a learning environment, such as a code of conduct for behavior. This aspect of education is completely ignored and the priorities of teachers are more focused on things like a uniform infraction (your belt is not buckled) or going to the bathroom only during recess verses treating others with respect and dignity. The rules and school priorities seem to be backwards. We got the impression that teachers are exhausted and just don't want to deal with any student issues. That is still the responsibility of being an effective teacher. Academics are decent, but the school culture, learning environment, and leadership are truly lacking. Do not recommend.
