Excellent school, widely respected in the community.

This is a top notch school. We put both of our daughters through Baymonte and now our son is attending. Although the quality of the academic programs is phenomenal, the atmosphere is exactly the environment a parent would want for their children. They offer Robotics, Spanish (everyone in Middle School), after school Sports, after school childcare, Music, Honors Math and Field Trips and so much more... Because of the small size, they are able to meet the needs of every child there. Our children have very different needs and we have been so blessed to be a part of the Baymonte Family.

Baymonte is fine if your student is a “normal” kid. But if he/she has learning differences... the school is terrible. Many of the teachers have been there too long and are stuck in a rut. It seems like many don’t even enjoy the kids they work with. This school is not worth the money...

We're almost through our first year here at Baymonte. So far, we've been really pleased. The principal has been fantastic - always available, always answering questions, knows everyone by first name. The reading and writing has been fantastic here. When we were searching for a new school (we came from Vine Hill), we wanted a christian based school with low class sizes (VH had 33:1 ratios). Baymonte and Twin Lakes (in Aptos) are the top 2 christian schools in the county, and the only schools that were on our list. We really liked both schools; I think we would of been fine at either. But ultimately, it came down to location (where we lived). We also had 2 other friends transferring with us, also no-brainer for our kids. Everyone has been so welcoming and kind. It's a very clean and tidy school. Academics and values are strong. I worry for the public school system. We wanted our children to feel confident and excel. I just didn't see that happening in the public system here in SV. At least for our kids. Baymonte has been a great decision, and I'm so happy we switched! I'm looking forward to see how the years progress.

Had three kids go through Baymonte, K-8. Academics were great, Blue Ribbon School too. The best part was the teachers, all committed to the kids and obviously loving what they do, and the Lord. Christianity is woven through the curriculum. Love it. Highly recommended.

Love this school, I have two kids there and have been very happy. Academics are important, but raising good people in a safe environment is my top priority. The teachers are beyond excellent.

I have two children. One went all the way from pre-school to 8th and the other is now in 7th grade. Our experience at Baymonte has been outstanding. It truly is an extended family to us, helping us in times of need and allowing us to help others. I have one excellent student and one who struggles, and both have been treated fairly by all teachers. No school is going to be perfect, but overall, I would recommend Baymonte to anyone!

I just wanted to respond to the reviewer that felt the class size was too big. In reality, the maximum class size at Baymonte is set at 27, while in 10 years I have never had a class larger than 24. It is true that the elementary does not have an academic entrance exam. If you want a school with ONLY the highest achieving students, Baymonte is not for you.
