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.

Once the school split into two schools everything changed. Only one principle for 2 schools. A 5th grade teacher became the vice principle who had little experience. They rely on one teacher to teach all subjects in what they call a unit. My child was given only 3 tests the entire year. No quiz to test their knowledge base. Its a mess. They can't afford the expenses of 2 schools and are hiring teachers and paying low wages. Bay View was excellent but unfortunately now it's a disaster.

Admin means well, but all the faculty at the top lack ex...

To protect my child’s privacy. I’m not being specific with the details for fear of retaliation. My chi...

A nightmare. Worried my child would be hurt and worried about transitioning to another school because he was not up to par with other schools at his grade level
