This School’s Reviews

5.0 Alum

5/24/2026

I honestly really loved my experience at Bayside High School. My teachers showed that they all cared about our futures in their own way, whether it's being extra strict on assignments or taking time for their students outside of class. My best memories were at this school. The staff emphasized school spirit which connected students in various ways.

5.0 Sophomore

4/9/2026

My experience at bayside high school has been amazing. As a member of the health sciences academy, I've learned a lot about the human body and possible health-science careers I could enter post high-school.

4.0 Senior

7/16/2025

As a whole, Bayside High School typically gets a pretty bad wrap which, in my opinion, is relatively undeserved. Because our school is incredibly diverse and is located in a low income area, it often gets many accusations of it being "dangerous" or "ghetto." Generally speaking, I don't agree with these assumptions, but I will say that the school is in a bit of disrepair. There is a bit of violence/misbehavior at the school, but I wouldn't say that I feel unsafe going to school there. The school does feel very bonded, though. To me, it feels like the student body is closer because we are all so different from one another: I like that the school has a lot of pride, at least from what I've noticed from the Health Science Academy students there (which I attend).

This school has a bad reputation but you will find it is because most people still hold prejudices. As long as you dont start problems with anyone, they will not sta...

I had 5 kids graduate from this school... One was a part of the Academy. I never had any issues with bullying or anything. I agree the principal has a laid back approach. Every school will have its issues, no one school is perfect. I believe this school gets a bad reputation based on past experience...

I am not sure why this school is getting a low score but my little brother went here. He did great in academics and extra curricular activities. I think it really depends on the kid on how he will excel in school.

2.0 parent

5/13/2017

Not safe. My child is in the Health Sciences Academy, but will return to his zoned school for his last two years of high school. This school is not safe, due primarily to the principal's laid back views on bullying and violence in his school. I have met with him twice, and he is very unconcerned abo...
