The best part of Bay Springs High School are the relationships you can find and build with staff. Sports is also something that is valued and enjoyable. However, parent involvement and math and science classes could be valued more, while the other courses are taken seriously those two subjects seem to be places where academics falls short.

Bay Springs High School is a very average school with average academics, very few clubs, but good sporting opportunities. I do like the dual credit courses where you can begin college before graduation to help get junior college out of the way. Despite that, I do want to see the health and safety of the students to be taken more seriously.
