Bayou View Elementary

"As an employee of Gulfport School District in the Finance Department, I appreciate the small role I am allowed to play in supporting this school. It is still an outstanding neighborhood school with parents and staff that make every decision based on what is best for students. The Finance Department strives to make sure the all taxpayer resources are spent as efficiently as possible."

"Bayou View Elementary is the best elementary school for your child. I am currently a teacher at this school. However, I can also speak as a parent as all three of my children have attended Bayou View Elementary as well as two of my grandchildren. The parent participation is amazing, the school is a Blue Ribbon School, and the Teachers love what they do and love their students. When you have that combination you just can't go wrong."

"The Gulfport schools have been blazing the trail for the state of MS by being the only school district in the state to fully implement the Common Core State Standards on behalf of the state department of ed. The teachers have received statewide and local notoriety for their efforts. Two members of the instructional department were selected to serve on the state's national PARCC team. Our district is progressive; for example, all 9th-10th grade students have been provided en e-reader to lighten the load of the book bags. Other technological advances are being made available to our teachers, students, and principals. All core classes have interactive whiteboards. We have redesigned our high school to give students career-based opportunities and early college experience during their junior and senior years. The arts are important to developing a well-rounded student. Our music programs (band, choir, and strings) are among the best in the country and world! How do I know? We continue to win sweepstakes awards each year and have been invited to Disney and Germany to showcase our talents! Athletics? We are the home of state champions in soccer, basketball, and weight lifting. Our Marine ROTC teaches leadership and continues to win state and regional competitions as well. We hold ourselves and our students to high levels of excellence. Gulfport is a great education destination! SN: Those of us who work for the district may bring our children with us if we live out of district. I'm proud to say, we chose GSD. Best decision we could have made. My children's feeder pattern: West-Gulfport Central Middle-Gulfport High led my sons to honors programs and academic scholarships. This school is no exception! High standards coupled with hard work leads to a successful child."

"This school adheres to all the strict regulations of the USDA when preparing/serving their meals."

"This is a blue ribbon school and your kids will get a great education here!"

"If I had to choose an elementary school to work at, it would be Bayou View Elementary."

"Cafeteria staff are easy to get along with and enjoy their jobs. This proves to be delightful, especially when the principal and assistant principal, teachers and staff really enjoy our food. The children also enjoy calling us "good cookers.""

"This is an excellent school!! One of the top schools in the state. Such an honor to have my children attend this school. We bought our home in this neighborhood so all three of our children could attend."

"Bayou View Elementary is a school that is dedicated to helping students become independent thinkers, lifelong learners, and productive members of society. This school truly believes that all children can learn. We believe that EVERY decision made should be made with the best interest of the child in mind. The faculty at BVE is dedicted to inspiring every student to be the best they can be!"
