I have been at Bay most of my life. The high school is overall good but there are things they can work on. I feel like they could help prepare you for college a little more. The diversity is also not very well, there are maybe 10-15 colored kids in my grade me being one of them. I wish we could get more clubs for people who don't necessarily like sports. It's a small school though so I don't know if some of these problems could be fixed.
