Bayside High School

Summary:

Bayside High School is a public high school located in Bayside, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 3,011 students. It is part of the New York City Geographic District #26, which is ranked 182 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bayside High School faces several challenges, including its below-average statewide ranking, typically ranking between 600-800 out of around 1,200 high schools in New York, and maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school performs relatively well for its Asian and African American student populations, ranking in the top half of New York high schools, but its performance for White and multi-racial students is significantly lower, ranking in the bottom quarter. However, the school's English Language Learner and Homeless student populations are bright spots, ranking in the top quarter of New York high schools. Bayside High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 84.3% and 97.6%, which is generally on par with or slightly below the state and district averages, and its dropout rate has also varied, ranging from 0.4% to 10.0%, with the higher end being a concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Bayside High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below its closest neighboring school, Benjamin N. Cardozo High School, which is also part of the same district. However, the school lags behind higher-performing schools in the area, such as Great Neck North High School and Francis Lewis High School, which consistently rank in the top quarter of New York high schools. Bayside High School's high percentage of students (around 70-75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, may contribute to the school's lower overall performance compared to more affluent neighboring districts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

This school offers many different classes for the students to take. They also have specific classes that the students have to take for the CTE program that they choose, so they can graduate with a CTE diploma. They have teachers that care for the students and help them when they need assistance. The guidance counselors make sure to talk to each of their students to see if they feel comfortable in the school and if they need any help. Close Quote

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.
