Bay Head Elementary School

We could not be happier! We moved here for the schools!

One of the best schools in the district

You is smart at this school. You is kind at this school. You is important at this school.

This is a terrific school! There is a very diverse population and the children and staff are wonderful. I went to Brielle and so do my children. I have the same best friends from the 4th grade and I am 46 yrs old! The administration and staff are extremely dedicated and should be applauded for that. My oldest daughter came out of Brielle and easily took honors classes in high school. Excellent education!

My son had attended public school and never seemed happy. This is his second year at Saint Peter's and he comes home every day excited to tell us every detail about the day. He is reading full sentences and small books just two months into kindergarten. He loves technology, library, gym, and art. He can tell us what quarter and rest notes are in music (which thrills my drum playing husband). He speaks to us in Spanish which is awesome. We enrolled our younger son in the new PreK3 program and the teacher is thoughtful and creates such a fun environment for them. I love that they play outdoors and have fun activities indoors while learning so much! The themed activities make my son so excited for every holiday/event (ie. Halloween, election day). The staff genuinely care about the students. The priests and sisters come into the school regularly to say hello to the students and see what they are working on. Our pastor recently built a chapel in the school complete with relics from the children of Fatima. The priests go out of their way to make sure the students can attend mass there even while maintaining COVID protocols. The parents and the PTA are welcoming and fun. I love volunteering as a XC and basketball coach! It's fun to watch them at the park after school. The fundraisers are fantastic - the Craft Fair is a staple that I went to growing up and always kicks off the holiday season for me! Their Easter Monday Gift Auction has been fantastic even with all the COVID adaptations. I love how they regularly raise funds for people and groups that need it. The kids are so friendly and thoughtful. They genuinely care about each other and always try to reach out to any other child to make sure that everyone who wants to be included is. It's fun watching them interact at the park after school or at birthday parties. As an alumni, what I treasure about Saint Peter's is that no matter how old I get, if I see any of my former classmates or their family members in the community, I always love catching up and having meaningful conversations about what everyone is up to. Saint Peter's is such an amazingly caring community and such has made such an enormous influence in my life and the lives of my family. I feel very blessed to be able to share it with my family.
