John H. Bayne Elementary School

If you care about the quality of your children's education, don't send them here! My kids spent 2 years here and this year I've had enough and decided to transfer them out.

Our overall opinion of the school is great. Not to say we haven't had a few "Hiccups" along the way. However, you will only get what you put in. Any school can only do what they can for your child in the few short hours a day that they have with them. If you don't do your part how can you blame a school?

My daughter attended this school for 2 years and I ended up transferring her for numerous reasons. One reason I removed her was because of the lack of accommodations they had in congruence with her 501 plan. She needed to be on an IEP but they wouldn't allow it but yet kept failing her. The teachers out no effort forward to encourage the students or offer additional help. The class sizes were over 20 kids, as most PG Schools are, with no assistant so she was left with either you get or you don't. The principal, Ms. Joyce, seems nice but her demeanor has nothing to do with her staff and their lack of skills.

I have been to this school so many years all my life but now im in high school and john banyne is the best all of my family members lived there and i love this school so much. the students help out the little kids and the staff is ok.also some of the teachers are very supportive of students to do there best. they chanllege kids to try harder to do than what they can do. the teachers look after little kids and make sure they are suppose to be taking where they are suppose to be. the lunch is ok (i say bring your own lunch thats how i did). the princple is very support and also very serious all the time to but out of all the princples that i have had she is the best one that any one can ask for she treats kids in the school as if they were her own child she takes them homes if they dont have transportant to get home and she also provides many touring to students.they also have back to school nice and pta meeting every 1 for pta and every 2 or 4 months. to speak the truth i miss that school so much with all my heart i love you john bayne i will visted as soon as i can drive
