Bay High School is full of wonderful teachers and a top notch administration. They have great academics, clubs, and sports programs. Overall the kids are friendly and work hard. There are lots of ways and opportunities to get involved, no matter what your interests or passion. My daughter has had an amazing experience, and I know she will be well prepared for college.

I had a great experience at Bay High. I met a lot of friends and befriended much of the staff. The teachers I feel know a lot about their subject areas and how to help kids understand things. I also feel that the difficulty level of many classes has prepared me well for college. The only knock on Bay High School that comes to mind is their ability to help me set up a schedule that would give me the best chance at being one of the highest caliber students. I felt that being the first child in my family to go through High School ended up being a disadvantage because my counselor didn't do the best job giving me all my options to take my academics to the highest level. I feel as though I could have done a lot more and taken a different path during my time if the options were presented to me rather than leaving me to try and discover my options.

Although this school may be appealing on paper (ratings, academics), my experience as being a minority at Bay high left a rotten taste in my mouth The major fall of this school is the fact that it's in Bay Village means there is absolutely NO diversity in this school. Student body is about 800 peopl...

Bay High school was an excellent learning environment. Many of the teachers there invest a lot of time into their students and into their curriculum. The head of the math department for example works about an 80 hour week doing what she can to enhance her department and teaching styles. The school b...
