Bay Academy is an excellent school in a lovely and safe location! Their Science Olympiad team is very strong!
I liked that back in the day, during Pi Day, they allow us to smash pies on teachers' faces. The deans were hilarious.
I'm a senior in bay academy, class of 2021, and although COVID ruined the fun we were supposed to have this year, it was still a fun experience for the year and a half that I went. I love some of the teachers yet others are a nightmare. The grading system is really unfair but your teachers give you a few chances to get them up before trimester ends. I wish I could've gone on the senior trip to Boston (overnight trip) and have a prom and graduation, but i guess i have to wait until senior year of high school. I advise this school to the 5th graders who like making fun memories.
It was overall a great experience and I enjoyed my time at Bay Academy. Also, the teachers tend to be really great and the workload is very easily managed. The school has some really fun activities, like Pi Day, and the location is wonderful with the subway and buses very close. However, it is a very clique-orientated school and it is difficult to get involved in activities that are not related to your "talent" (for example, there was sports talent, science talent, creative writing talent, drama talent, etc.).
Good school, good administration. Prepares students for high school and beyond. Great teachers too..
I’m an 5th grader going into Bay. I’ve heard many good reports about this school and overall it makes me feel like this is going to be a right decision of mine. I will cherish my moments there. Good luck to the people attending there or are going to attend there. Best of luck to all! <3
Bay Academy is an awesome school, the staff and teachers are super nice and will help you with any of your needs. The students can get a bit rowdy but most of the time, they are pretty nice. One thing I do have a problem with the school is the number of students, the stairways and hallways turn into hell, people pushing and shoving but the crowd disperses in a couple of minutes. But overall this school is awesome and if you a 5th grader looking for a middle school, I suggest you go here. I would go more in-depth about the school but that's until I graduate. :)
Im currently in 7th grade in Bay Academy and I have no regret coming to this school. Teachers treat you with respect and the amount of homework you get depends on which teacher you get. Its amazing here.
enjoyed my all 3 years at Bay. Have NO regret coming here after having an EXCELLENT time at Bay Academy since graduating in 2018. Played my whole middle school career on the boy's basketball team and were the best team. ALL the teachers that I had were all awesome and there was plenty of academic help if you needed it. With the state exams, the teachers teach how the correct format for the short and extended response questions on the ELA state exam.
Bay Academy is a great school. The homework amount depends on what teacher you get. Most teachers are nice and caring, but some could care less about you and teach as little as possible. All the administrators (principals, APs, deans, etc) care about every single student. Student counselors make sure that everyone is okay and well. They are always there when you need to talk to them. if you join after-school, there are many different activities for students. Overall, i would recommend Bay Academy to all 5th graders.
Bay Academy is overall an a-ok school. There are some amazing teachers and some teachers that are rather questionable. Teachers who are actively teaching tend to pay attention to their students. Personally I myself have had my teacher sent me down to a guidance counselor because of this depression-esque drawing I made. And that teacher was rather sharp. However there are some teachers that are rather disinterested in their job... There are some teachers who let their emotions get to them rather then staying professional. Besides that, they do have a m a z i n g science and math teachers.
The environment was safe and enjoyable.. The school was filled with talented students which made education more enjoyable. The teachers were kind and caring who valued education greatly.
Bay Academy is a wonderful school for youngsters. It instills core values to students while preparing them for high school. Quality academics, safe environment, and its resources make Bay Academy an overall great middle school.
some teachers dont care at all
I wish I could go back one thing i miss is my art teacher since i was a art student i was very in tune to the setting of the school the spacious hallways huge windows in classroom some hallways and bathrooms even. Not to mention right across the school the water with the boats and swans. Since there was art gallery and an open greenhouse space in the center of the school, you can enter it through the gallery or lunch room. :D
We had a whole assembly on bullying in the auditorium and cyber-bullying and things like Respect for All Week etc the parents and teachers can keep in touch through mail and online resources.
Great blend between students and teachers!! A+
