Bayside High School is a four-year public high school located in Bayside, in the New York City borough of Queens, administered by the New York City Department of Education. Bayside High School, Samuel J. Tilden High School, Abraham Lincoln High School, John Adams High School, Walton High School, Andrew Jackson High School, and Grover Cleveland High School were all built during the Great Depression from one set of blueprints, in order to save money.
Since 1936, Bayside has strived to ensure that all of its students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for the rigors of college and the workforce.
Bayside High School is one of the highest performing schools in the New York City Department of Education, earning an "A" three years in a row on the 2010–2011, 2011–12, & 2012–2013 NYCDOE Progress Reports. Bayside students are selectively admitted into six newly updated programs: Digital Art & Design, Music: Performance & Production, Environmental Engineering & Technology, Humanities & Non-Profit Management, Computer Programming & Web Design, and Sports Medicine & Management. These programs offer students the opportunity to earn college credits, participate in industry internships and learn more about careers in the field. The school has a 95.1% four-year graduation rate; the highest of any large open-admissions high school in the NYC DOE. The school has pioneered Whole Child Guidance practices and is further improving curriculum through the additions of internships and of numerous college-accredited courses. Bayside High School has received positive recognition for "closing the achievement gap" for minority students, English Language Learners (ELL) and students with Special Needs.
