Summary

Bayside Academy is a K-8 public school serving about 840 students in the San Mateo-Foster City School District, ranking in the middle tier of California schools with a slight recent decline in its statewide standing.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English, math, and science are below the district average, with a notable need for early intervention as third-grade scores are particularly low. A significant challenge is chronic absenteeism, with nearly 24% of students missing too much school, a rate higher than both the district and state averages and much higher than nearby high-performing schools like College Park Elementary and North Shoreview Montessori. The school serves a student population with a higher level of economic need than many of its neighbors, and performance for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds has declined in recent years.

Interestingly, Bayside Academy is located very close to several top-performing schools in the same district, such as Parkside Montessori, highlighting a stark performance gap within a small geographic area. Despite per-student spending that is comparable to the district, the school's outcomes lag, suggesting factors beyond funding are at play. For families, key considerations are the school's ongoing efforts to improve early grade foundations and address attendance, which is closely linked to academic success.
