Bay View Elementary School

My child goes to this school and while I agree with some of the comments written here, I do have to say that my child was involved in a bullying situation and the principal and teachers did take it very seriously and followed up with us immediately. I do feel this school is somewhat at risk b/c of the differential in parent involvement and hate to bring education and race into it. Art, Music and PE do exist at the school whether the home & school clubs pay for it or not. I think this is the case with most schools nowadays.

Bay View School lacks essential funding (no Gym,Music or Art teachers-the PTA pays for this). Some of the teachers are awesome but many are horrible! The principal is nice but very indifferent to the situations that plague the school. There is horrible bullying and theft that goes on and she could care less. If you complain, she will nod her head in empathy but then nothing will be done and she will not follow up with you. So glad i pulled my kids out of that school!

My daughter goes there and loves it. I think they have a good structure and offer many field trip and extra curricular activities for the children and also opportunities for adult participation.

Bay view does have amazing teachers who are very nice and love their students. However I just recently moved school districts and my child is a year behind. While in Kindergarten he was never once required to write a full sentence. I never had any books sent home to start him in reading and we never had sight word test. This year I have had to pay $3000 to catch him up in his reading and writing. At the time I had no idea it was even an issue. Now that I have reviewed California standard I see that most requirements were not even taught, so he had the opportunity to learn or meet the standards.
