Great academics: the teachers here are some of the best people I've ever met and they all have a vested interest in the students' success. Very athletic-heavy school, would recommend elsewhere if you're not terribly interested in that. Fine arts, particularly music, are not prioritized when it comes to funding.

We have three children attending Baylor School and could not have asked for a better experience for all three of them. We have felt welcome and "at home" at Baylor from move in day for our oldest almost 4 years ago. The faculty and staff go above and beyond to support the students. Our kids have been super involved as boarding students and have grown in all areas (socially, emotionally and academically). We are so happy with Baylor and all that it has to offer our kids (sports, theater and the arts).

Baylor has changed our student's life. Bullying is almost non-existent. Great program for competition and service. Everything is well-organized. No surprises. I feel our student is safe and once again loves school.

We also did not have a good experience at Baylor. Also agree with others about the Sr admin people and believe the methods they use for discipline are disappointing.

I am not a big fan of Baylor. I would consider going to McCallie or GPS.
