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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Bay Tech is an amazingly diverse school with small class sizes. Teachers really do try their best in order to help you at your own pace. Academically, they're really behind compared to other schools. Bay Tech also has a huge problem with favouritism as well. Overall I've had an average experience at Bay Area Technology school.

My daughter is currently enrolled in Ancient History and my son is taking American History. As far as sixth graders learning GIMP, I think as one part of a complete computer litera...
