Bayview Secondary School

Good teachers and education. Overall a good school. Just stay away from the geo hall and drama hall bathrooms at all times lmao.

The building and facilities are old. Compared to other high schools in York region, bayview looks more like an old correctional center because it’s crowded inside and the interior looks somewhat depressing imo. I highly doubt that the school is underfunded. And for some reasons, the vibe here is not as lively as what I expected from a canadian high school. However the education in bayview is great. Guidance and the teachers are professional especially the ones from math and science departments. There are some other classes that I would not recommend but I don’t want to name any specific ones. I would say I am satisfied with the experience as I met a lot of friends and enjoy my high school years. Overall I mma give it a 7.5/10.

Brian Israel needs to go. I CAN'T believe he still has a job. That's pathetic. Brian Israel the rudest, uneducated, and not fit for teaching.

Trying to be as objective as I can in this review. I think Bayview is a decent school for a high schooler to attend. Yes, the school is cramped during the busiest times and yes, the school is relatively old. But a majority of the teachers through my 4 years here have been nice and good at teaching. Some were not of course, and some most definitely don't care about teaching and actually having their students learn, but most were Very helpful and nice people. The tech teachers are mostly experienced and skilled but clearly don't care much about student's learning. Some other teachers just don't care about teaching and recite off a powerpoint.

This school doesn't have much of a problem with bullying in my experience, since if it did, I'd probably be a victim of it, but alas, I wasn't bullied very much, if you can even call it bullying. There are some rude and bully-like kids here, like literally every single school since they're literally children, but I can't recall any instance where children actually fought seriously or were seriously bullied.

And yeah, they really shouldn't have spent money on a bunch of TVs when they could've improved so many more important factors instead of buying useless TVs that are sometimes broken and provide no useful information and is way too small to be read even by someone with 20-20 vision. Like, do you really need to show the weather when eveyone's got a phone in their pocket these days?

If I were less introverted in my high school years, I bet I'd have quite enjoyed the experience. The positive relationships I made in the school were nice and the negative ones weren't Too negative.

If you are a parent thinking of sending your student to this school I am begging you to NOT as someone who has spent 4 years here. The school is run-down, disgusting, and barely cleaned. The cafeteria and classrooms are crowded and filthy and the floors are covered in a perpetual grime. There is no AC. There is nowhere accessible to sit or do work outside of the classrooms. The layout is terrible and you will have to deal with 1500+ students trying to cram through one hallway intersection because of it. The school decided to spend money on fancy new TVs instead of actual necessities such as buying new microwaves to fix the broken ones in the cafeteria, which objectively more students use. The atmosphere is incredibly depressing due to both student attitude & the old building and your child will most likely never have a proper high school experience if that’s something they care about. The only upside is the teachers and proximity to restaurants/grocery, but you will find good teachers almost anywhere else as well. It’s not worth moving here to attend, even for IB especially since many YRDSB schools have IB now.

Renovation is needed, good but mostly hard teachers. I recommend this school, although the atmosphere is very competitive.

Great school but I think they need to improve and renovate the washroom wall to make it more in line with today's technological enhancements like what they are doing with the malls or restaurants.

The teachers there for Chinese classes aren’t so great. I had to get shouted at 4 times because I needed to go to the washroom.
