School spirit runs high for the Bailey Bears, and there is an active PTA that helps to coordinate a 6th Grade Social, Bailey Bears Day activities, and a February school dance.
What Parents Are Saying
"This is an excellent middle school made only better by a new principal. We have perhaps the best middle school band, an excellent football team, a progressive environmental science program and some top notch skateboarders."
"Bailey MS is a good school, but it has undergone many changes in the past couple of years that have presented a number of changes. These include boundary changes, student population changes, large change from 1-parent working households to 2-parent working households. But through it all, the students (and thus the school) have continued to excel."
