BAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
BAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the BAY SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in BAY, AR with about 326 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 25 teachers, BAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
BAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is located at 700 School St. in Bay, Arkansas, serving as the primary educational facility for younger students within the Bay School District. As home to the "Yellowjackets," the school plays a central role in the local community, focusing on foundational academic development and fostering a supportive learning environment for its students.
The school operates under the district’s official web portal at [Yellowjackets.k12.ar.us](http://Yellowjackets.k12.ar.us), which serves as a hub for parents and guardians to access information regarding school calendars, policies, and district-wide updates. By maintaining this connection to the broader Bay School District, the elementary school works to ensure that students are prepared for their eventual transition to the district's middle and high school levels.
