Our daughter is in first grade at Bay Farm and we really feel great about the school. By the end of her Kindergarten year, many of the kids were already reading chapter books! Parental involvement is phenomenal. Families at Bay Farm ensure academic achievement is kept high and extra curricular activities are plentiful. With most students walking to school, you really get that nice "small town" feel.
