2/15/2018

I went to John T. Baker a few years ago and I had a very poor experience. The administration is unhelpful and incompetent when dealing with certain situations. There's a profound lack of diversity at the school. This is a problem as it creates closed-minded behavior which myself and some of my peers experienced firsthand.

I go to this school. There are a few good teachers, but most of them are horrible. The school itself is falling apart, and he is in desperate need of repair. However, I say the overall learning experiences decent and sports are pretty good.
