This school is far too stressful. After years of attending the school, my kid (and I) had had enough. Far too much homework and they are extremely inflexible. They give zeros if the work is late, even if they just left it at home and the parent brings the work to school. Another student's grandmother told me that her granddaughter is in counseling because of the stress. Yet, the child's parents are so pleased they got her in at this school. My kid has gone from struggling at this school to straight A's at another highly ranked public school. We don't regret leaving and we don't miss the elitist attitude of many staff and parents. Be careful what you wish for.

They claim to have a Zero Tolerance Policy on Bullying but during the Summer they only have a bunch of High School kids running the show (and not enough) there is a lot of bullying especially older kids on younger kids since they don t bother to separate them!

This is a great school! Whenever my grades were slipping the teachers and faculty informd my parents and helped me raise them. I will always remember the friendly staff and great memories there. If you want your child to excel send them here.

This school is unbeliveable. My daughter has attened this school in the 6th grade. she was a straight a student...until the 2nd semester when her teachers sent home a report card saying that she is failing her classess...but out og those 9 weeks not once did i get a call from the teachers that said my daughters grades were sliping from a's to f's. not once. she never had any test those nine weeks it was based on there class participitation. she participated but she's very shy. She clamied to even told the teacher that. This school is horrible all those other reviews are talking about its a great school because its a charter school but that has nothing to do with anything. do not send your child her, its a bad influnence.

I attended Bay Haven all throughout midle school and I feel they accurately prepared me for high school. Sure, at first I was uneasy about the whole uniform concept, but it really doesn't hinder socialization. The staff is friendly and absolutely wonderful. I could continue to rave about them for years. I highly recommend this school.

Great school. The teachers really care about the students and the parents are really involved. I recommend it.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Florida used the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT 2.0) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, 3 through 8 in math, in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing in grades 4, 8 and 10. The FCAT 2.0 is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Florida. The FCAT 2.0 has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
