Baychester Academy is run like a private school. Every staff member is well mannered and they look out for the safety of every child. The principal is excellent she is available to discuss the issues and she cares The teachers send home great homework and they are always receiving training. I love this school.

This school is excellent!!!!!! My child was only able to attend Pre-K, because he is zoned for another school. If I was given a choice, I would have kept him there. Mr. Gonzalez's classroom was awesome! It SHOULD be used as an example of what a classroom is suppose to look like. It was my child's first experience attending school, and he grew so much in one academic school year! The school is very clean. This is the only school that includes the Pre-K students in their after school program. The after school program is excellent, also. The staff includes certified teachers and the school social worker, along with the staff from Mosholu- Montefiore. The PTA works very hard. You cannot separate the PTA Executive Board from the school staff, because they work so well together. The school safety agent knows each student by name. The principal runs an excellent school! All of her staff are professional and very respectful to the parents and their children. It is like a little private school. This school is the best kept secret in the Bronx! I HIGHLY recommend it! I cannot say enough about this school. I miss them and my son does too!

The staff is friendly and approachable. The security guard greets parents and know all children by name. Everyday he asks students how their day went. Every adult is truly responsible for the students. In other schools everything falls on the teacher. At dismissal I see all staff, social worker, paraprofessionals, and aides. It's wonderful!
