Our daughter just finished kindergarten at Bay Farm and it was a wonderful year. The teachers are dynamic and caring, and the parents are involved. The mornings are like a Norman Rockwell painting as most kids live close enough to walk to school. We'll often see our daughter's friends around town as well - we really feel like we are now part of a community. Go Bay Farm!

My sons came in behind when they started at Bay Farm School due to going from a traditional school schedule to year round schedule. Within 2 months the staff at Bay Farm had them both up to grade level in both reading and math. The 6th grade class was the best experience for my oldest. It prepared him for middle school very well. In fact many of the subjects he learned in history have actually provided the foundation for more indepth learning in honors classes now that he is a freshman. The parents and PTA are all very involved and financially support the school in a big way. This was one of the best communities we have lived in and as a military family we have lived in several places since our children have been school age.

There's a high level of achievement and parent involvement at this school. Teachers are excellent. In particular, Joni Reynolds, the 6th grade teacher, has such heart, intelligence, energy and infectious enthusiasm that she is a valuable role model not only for her students, but also for their parents.

Three of my children went through Bay Farm Elementary. My youngest started in the Kindergarten and is now attending fourth grade. We moved into this area so our children can attend Bay Farm Elementary. The biggest asset of the school success is its parents. The parents of the students are heavily involved in school operations and activities. The students are aware their parents are in close contacts with the teachers. My daughter wants to go to school everyday to meet her friends and to learn. If you are interested to attend bay Farm, you must move into the proper zoned neighborhoods. You will also be willing to be involved with your children's education and activities. As long as you participate in the children's activities, you will find out that Bay Farm Elementary offers academic achievements as good as any private school. It is an example of public school that works.
