Bayfield
District 10 - K-12
1,248 students are served within three school
buildings: Bayfield Elementary is a K-5 school; Bayfield Middle
School encompasses grades 6, 7; and 8 and the high school
serves grades 9-12. School buildings with the district are
in excellent condition. A new athletic complex was completed
at the high school last year.
Parents and community
members form a viable and active part of the school community.
The Parent, Student, Teacher Association provides support
for the elementary school through volunteer programs, informational
support for parents and recognition for teachers and other
school employees. Each of the three district schools maintains
its own accountability committee, which gathers data and reports
on various indicators of school success. The District Advisory
and Accountability Committee works with district leaders to
set community supported district goals. Within the high school,
a strong Vocational Advisory Council recommends appropriate
directions for vocational programs.
