Bay Elementary School
I used to attend Bay Elementary from KG-2nd grade. It is an excellent school! I used to be in Ms. B's class in 1 & 2nd grade. She has really shaped my life. Today, I'm an Honor's student with a 4.2 GPA.

Michelle: This is my son's first year at Bay, starting in 3rd grade, he had been attending a private Catholic school prior to our transfer. I can say, without hesitation, that the level of education is on par if not better than the private education. His teacher, Ms. B, is outstanding and we are completely satisfied with our transition into public education. Excellent !!

Christina: My son just began his first School year at Bay Elementary, (he's in the Second Grade) I love the teachers, he gets good homework, but the only flaw (that I can see) is that the School needs a new fence & new lawn! Other than that, I am 100% satisfied with the School!
