Excellent school with great communication! I have two children attending this school and have never had an issue with my children or the staff. The staff members are friendly and welcoming; they go the extra measure to provide a welcoming atmosphere for the students and parents. The quality of education is rigorous and to a high standard. There is a zero tolerance for bullying and fighting will not be allowed. The principal is always present and knows what s going on in the school; the administrators are always willing to speak with me to discuss any issue I may have, even without an appointment. I absolutely love Baycreek Middle School and am proud to be part of the Grayson community.

This school is horrendous at dealing with problems a student was suspended twice for defending herself in a bullying situation so if your child gets bullied here and tries to defend his/herself they will be suspended teachers see what is going on but don't do anything only when the victim stands up for themselves is when they panic and hide in a corner like small children the student body is very tired of dealing with mean and witty teachers who dont care for them I highly suggest you send your child to Grayson Middle School
