Baylis Elementary School

Very good school.. teacher are very nice and kind to the students.

This school has gone markedly downhill since Principal Albrecht left. No longer are there thoughtful community events or comprehensive updates. Everything seems to be done haphazardly and at the last minute. Worse, the new administration is ill-equipped to deal with normal student interactions. Everything becomes an outsized issue for the school psychologist to deal with. They try to push students into needing special services, even when their grades are good, so the school can get more funding. I am not the only parent who has experienced this. I've spoken to other parents who say the same thing, as well as the actual district contact for Syosset school district. So it is a pattern in my opinion. I would avoid this school. Students are leaving and the school is shrinking, yet they do nothing to address these problems. Much better Catholic schools out there.
