High school students from South and Central Whidbey who prefer a different style of learning have a good choice in Bayview School.

The alternative school offers a small student/teacher ratio, a hands-on approach to independent learning. It is accredited by the Washington State Board of Education.

The high school is house in the historical Bayview School building, which has been lovingly cared for by the community through the decades. Each year, Bayview School graduates a class of about a half-dozen students.

Enrollment is approximately 80 students, several of whom had dropped out of South Whidbey or Coupeville high schools or were at risk of leaving early. Many find a satisfying educational experience at Bayview, which emphasizes the completion of a student portfolio as a graduation requirement. School staff also place emphasis on arts programs, and encourage students to work and learn in the school's large garden.

Students attend school from 8:40am to 11:40am and 1:20 pm to 3:20 pm Monday through Thursday, and work on independent projects on Friday.
