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.

My experience at Bay Shore High School taught me a lot of things about myself. It provided me with a lot of new opportunities and surrounded me with people that I am grateful to have in my life. Some of the best parts of my experience were getting to work with adults and teachers that pushed me to be the best version of myself every day, and I would love to see more appreciation and funding for the arts programs in the future.

I am currently a senior at Bay Shore High School and the one thing I tell everyone about my school is that there are just so many resources available to you. There are so many clubs and sports teams that if you decide to get involved, you will undoubtedly meet a great group of like-minded people as I have.
