GREAT school! teachers are nice (well most of them) and they make learning easy and fun! i have made A and B honor roll my whole school year at Baldwin. it's an well taught yet still challenging school. art class is the bomb and there are many other extracurricular activities like dance band piano creative writing and way more. and parents can be fully involved with grades and just helping out the school with fundraisers and other great things. baldwin is my favorite school and i cant wait until next year!
