I graduated from Bayshore High School in 2009, and I believe that this school is way under par. I held a 4.0 for 2 years, and I still struggled when I entered college. Take the AP classes if you get the chance. They are not as hard as everyone makes them seem.

I am a current BHS senior and I have attended Bayshore my entire high school career. For the most part, I have been gravely disappointed with the academics. I have Always taken all honors classes and starting my sophomore year, Advanced Placement. I have always taken the most advanced classes bayshore has offered. The problem is, they are not very advanced. I have never felt academically challenged and I feel that this is because Bayshore serves the lower-achieving students first. In an effort to help the intellectually impaired students (a sad majority) that attend Bayshore pass and graduate, classes have become pathetically easy. I recently sat in on an English 3 Honors class (consisting of juniors and seniors) and they are reading a book I read for my 7th grade (middle school!!) English! Honestly, an honors class doing 7th grade work?! Also, the vandalism and graffiti is pretty ridiculous.
I went to Bayshore for 9th grade and i only listened to what my Lang. Arts and Math teachers and screwed around in all my other classes. I hated Bayshore. I thought that they lacked in school spirt and that the teachers didnt do much. Later on i moved to North Port High School, and the only classes i was good at were Math and Lang. Arts. And not only was i good but i was better then most students and the teachers of those subjects were shocked by the skills i used to do my work. Those skills i learned at Bayshore. I now wish i would of listened in all my classes. Bayshore teachers are very good and will help you go far, aslong as the student is willing to work. As for Bayshores sports, they are getting better. And the arts there, someone is always getting a prize.
Having moved from a northern private school and attended Bayshore from 2003-2006, I can tell you my three years there were an experience. The lack of school spirit is a bit..depressing. Students as well as teachers have a limited amount of pride and I think that is only a minute part of the problem. Students seem to be completely content with mediocrity. There never seemed to be a drive to succeed and be the best at anything, and in my three years the students I encountered who actually cared were few. As a transfer student I chose Bayshore because when I walked through the door for an orientation I was greeted by many friendly smiles and introductions. I found the school to be very welcoming . However, the upcoming underclassmen were not this way. I would not recommend Bayshore for anyone wanting academic challenges. - BHS Alumni c/o 06
