Summary

Bay Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 422 students in the San Lorenzo Unified district, standing out as a consistently improving and high-performing school within its local area.

Academically, Bay Elementary is a leader in its district, with students scoring significantly higher in English, Math, and Science than the district average and outperforming all other nearby San Lorenzo Unified schools like Lorenzo Manor Elementary, Corvallis Elementary, and Colonial Acres Elementary. The school has shown a remarkable decade-long climb in its statewide ranking and has been particularly effective in supporting English Learner students. Furthermore, it achieves these strong results while spending less per student than other schools in its district, indicating efficient use of resources.

While Bay Elementary is the top performer in its immediate district, a comparison with Madison Elementary in the neighboring San Leandro Unified district shows there are similar schools achieving even higher academic results. Bay's chronic absenteeism rate, while much improved since the pandemic and better than many local schools, is an area where peers like Dayton Elementary and Madison Elementary perform slightly better, highlighting a continued focus on student engagement.
