Bayview Elementary School

Bayview is a wonderful school community that is welcoming to both its students and parents! We absolutely adore the teachers, they are caring, fun, and put the emotional needs of the children first while making learning fun! We love our Bayview community!

Shockingly low expectations, nothing for kids to feel a sense of accomplishment over at all. The work is nothing but test prep and worksheets. No experiment or literature or anything to gt excited about at all. Cute does not make up for it. A huge disappointment.

My family moved to Belford when I was 10. I am now pushing 40 and I bought a house here a few years back with my family because I have confidence and knowledge of the neighborhood and local community. I must say that my overall experience with Bayview School has been really positive... past and present. From the teachers to the janitors, everyone does an excellent job in shaping our children, while creating that learning foundation. All are very supportive and that's what they need at such a young age. I would recommend speaking to the local daycare establishments that are also terrific to learn more about the quality of the school. Draw your own conclusions after taking some time to speak to some parents and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Nice kids, nice teachers, but no leadership. The principal is not qualified for the position, runs things in a lazy beaurocratic manner, and when asked basic pedagogical questions she draws a blank and feels entitled to give wrong answers. Communication is abysmal and principal does not appreciate the need to create and inspire community participation to achieve success; she keeps everybody shut out and in the dark. If all you are looking for from your elementary school is daycare, then this is the place. If you expect competent leadership or inspiration stay far away.

horrible school. unprofessional leader, school doesnt have any resources for kids who truly need extra help. moved out of town bc of the unacceptable things that went on there. i know of many parents who feel this way. my child was bullied, and picked on and it was never handled. calls to the principle never helped either. after numerous talks with the superintendent, he asked if i would like the option of sending my child to another school in the district. he apologized for the lack of effort that was put in by staff members there and let me know he would help in anyway he could. we finally moved mid year and my kids couldnt be happier, as the same goes for my husband and i. its a great feeling to know your kids are being cared for and bayview was 100% not the school for that. very disappointing, but glad my daughter made some forever friends. at least she took that from there.
