Bay Laurel Elementary School

My kids went there for a combination of 10 years. Parents involvement is awesome. Some of them are so involved my kids thought they were teachers! Most teachers are very good. Mrs G was the best principle with great leadership and true understanding of kids. Hope something can be changed in leadership. Overall a safe, beautiful and qualified teaching staff.

I am not quite sure what the parent who wrote the negative review had experienced, but I feel that the teachers at Bay Laurel are wonderful and provide every student with a variety of learning opportunities. Teachers have student interests and needs in mind for all of the lessons they plan and deliver.

I,too, am very disappointed with Bay Laurel. It seems like all the teachers can do is assign workbook pages and worksheets. How uninspiring and educationally weak! If a company ran itself like Bay Laurel delivers their curriculum, the company would be out of business is less than a year. How could the LVUSD school board allow such a shallow and poorly designed curriculum? Moreover, how could a district office curriculum director allow poor curriculum delivery?

What a great school! The teachers are wonderful. They are so skilled and also nurturing. What professionals they are. I am very impressed with the education my children are getting there. They welcome parent volunteers with open arms. Although, as children progress in the grades, parent volunteers are not needed as much in the classroom (starting at about 3rd grade). The music and art programs are great and Bay Laurel also offers a quality after school enrichment program (for a fee).

Bay Laurel is an awesome school that has high expectations for its students, and a great parent volunteer population. The Parent Faculty Association is very active and supportive of the staff. There are 'extras' like Art, Music, PE and Computer skills classes, all of which are outstanding. The environment is clean, bright and welcoming. Plus the campus has an amazing view! Our playground is adapted for children with special needs. Serious learning occurs here, but the kids have fun with special projects throughout the year. You will not be disappointed if your child attends Bay Laurel.
