The Superintendents from Bayshore and JUHSD have met with the developer, Universal Paragon, to discuss how to meet the needs of the growing student population. We are envisioning a school that serves students in grades six through twelve. Based on UPC's estimated allocation of 11 acres for a school, the estimated attendance will be 250 middle and 250 high school students. This number can be increased if the amount of land allocated is increased. The school will be open to residents from all three school districts of Bayshore, Brisbane, and JUHSD.

Why Now?
It is important to keep in mind that we are not considering opening a new school today. We are planning for the future ten to twenty years from now. The Baylands development will bring 2,200 new residences. There are also going to be additional new developments in this vicinity including the Cow Palace and Midway Village. Both JUHSD and Bayshore will need new schools to accommodate this population influx.
