1. How do I register to attend Bay High School?

Parents of students entering grades 9-12 must pick up a registration packet at the Bay High School office. Parents will need to provide the child’s birth certificate (baptismal certificates cannot be accepted), an updated record of the child’s immunizations, the child’s social security card, proof of residency in Bay Village (lease agreement, purchase agreement or utility bill), and a copy of custody papers if the child is not living with both biological parents. Required immunizations ...

2. How does the Bay High School block schedule work?

The semester-based schedule uses blocks of 90 minutes for core courses in order to give teachers and students plenty of uninterrupted time to delve into complex aspects of the curriculum. Teachers can use the longer periods for meaningful, hands-on activities and group projects. The schedule also uses “skinny” periods of 45 minutes to allow for a flexible, mix-and-match approach to scheduling elective courses, a component that is especially conducive to our extensive music program. Students also have a common, school-wide study period twice a week (a Quality Resource Period) where all teachers are available for consultations.

3. Why does Bay High School have 28 graduation credits when the State of Ohio requires only 20?

Bay High’s semester-based block schedule allows students to take more credits. Students generally complete four courses in each of the two semesters offered each year. Because there are no study halls beyond the twice-weekly Quality Resource Periods, there is less down time in the schedule. Bay High School maintains high expectations for students, and our students consistently score above the national and state averages on the ACT and SAT college entrance exams in part because all four of their high school years are filled with meaningful study.

4. Is transportation provided for Bay High students?

General busing is not provided at the high school level. However, students who participate in vocational classes at the West Shore Career and Technical District at Lakewood High School do receive transportation. Tranportation is also provided for our athletic teams and various other student activities.
