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.

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.
