GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Bay High School is a great school to not only learn but to experience the fun of learning! Over my childhood years I have been to four different schools and I would say that Bay High has been the one place where school is not boring because they make learning a fun thing and not a boring lecture!

One of the main things I love about Bay High School is the environment the staff surrounds us in. The teachers want us all to succeed and do right in our life after high school. Bay High's team goes out of its way to correct and fix our mistakes. One thing I would fix is the strict regulations. I understand all of the rules clearly, but I don't think they had an exact reason as to why they made them in the first place. Besides that, I love the school.

I personally love the workers at Bay High. They are all loving and push us to be the best we could possibly be. This is all because of our caring principal. The principal, Dr. Necaise, goes out of her way to make sure we have the best high school experience. I can definitely say with confidence that they try to do everything that will make us grow as a student and shape us into the adults we are closely about to come.
