Bayside High

Summary:

Bayside High is a public magnet high school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving 1,983 students in grades 9-12. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Virginia Beach City Public Schools district, Bayside High itself faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges.

Bayside High stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 26.63% White, 43.22% African American, 14.52% Hispanic, 6.05% Asian, and 9.03% two or more races. However, this diversity is not reflected in the school's academic performance, which is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, Bayside High's 10th grade writing proficiency was 65.52%, compared to 75.67% for the district and 67.92% for the state. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 169 and 228 out of 325-329 schools in recent years, placing it in the 2-star category on the SchoolDigger rating system.

Bayside High's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Asian and multi-racial students perform very well, disabled students and those from low-socioeconomic status families struggle, ranking in the bottom 100-200 schools in Virginia. This suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 64.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, Bayside High ranks 1st out of 2 Virginia high schools in supporting homeless students, indicating a strong focus on addressing the needs of this vulnerable population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Booker T. Washington High and Norview High, Bayside High generally performs worse academically, but these nearby schools also face similar challenges with low academic performance and low socioeconomic status.

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.

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.
