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.

The best part of this school is the tight knit community due to the small town. However because it's a small town the diversity is slim.

The staff seems to love the students but the rules are so strict that it makes learning more boring. Time schedules are too early and it has created a big flaw in students arrival time and tardiness.

Bayfield high School is a fairly good school. There are times that it feels like the district is short-handed or is lacking the staff to accommodate certain schedules, but the staff really tries. Many make an effort to keep the school culture positive, but there is only so much that can be done. The experience has been good overall, but there is always room for improvement.

My graduating class had a nearly 100% graduation rate and...

I absolutely love going to Bayfield. The acedemic program is great. Both the music and sports programs are well ahead of their game as well. I love how at Bayfield, everybody loves everybody, and bullying and hazing are hard to be found. We are all friends with are peers, versus a big city school wh...
