Bay Trail Middle School

 Bay Trail Middle School, located in Penfield, a suburb of Rochester, NY, offers a unique learning experience for students in grades 6-8. With an enrollment of over 1,100 students, Bay Trail is a large school, however, students benefit from a House system within the school which allows for a smaller, more family-oriented environment. Students remain in the same House throughout their middle school years, allowing teachers to get to know them well as they meet weekly to discuss each student's progress. Students also benefit from the school's learner-centered focus which seeks to help all students reach their academic potential through differentiated instruction. In addition to a wide variety of academic programs, Bay Trail offers students numerous opportunities in the arts, athletics and extracurricular activities.
