Bayville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Berkeley Township School District in New Jersey, with 511 students enrolled.

Bayville School is a family oriented school that rallys around student needs. There are many "fun" days and activities that keep children engaged. Scores on state testing are very good, with the third grade last year achieving 100% in the language arts section of the NJ ASK> Close Quote
