The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 89.4% in 2020-2021 to a low of 80.0% in 2021-2022, and it has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.6% in 2018-2019 to 22.3% in 2022-2023. Academically, Bayside High School consistently underperforms compared to the Brevard District and Florida state averages in various standardized tests, including EOC/Algebra 1, EOC/Geometry, FAST/English Language Arts, and EOC/US History.

Compared to nearby schools like Satellite Senior High School, West Shore Junior/Senior High School, and Melbourne Senior High School, Bayside High School's performance lags behind, with lower statewide rankings, graduation rates, and test scores.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
