This school is not good and does not seem to care about the well-being of its students. They claim they care, but in reality, they let people get bullied and then blame other kids for not reporting it. They don't seem to understand that students don't report bullying because they fear being blamed or not being believed. As a result, students don't feel comfortable sharing anything with the school administration and don't want to be blamed for things they didn't do."

Nothing spectacular. Does the trick(for most students). It has some amazing teachers, but they are averaged out by the bad ones.

My experience ar Mount Baker has been a fairly average one. I can't say I enjoyed it too much, but I also can't say it was that bad. The staff is overall very supportive of the students, though there are some shortcomings. I think they could pay more attention to the personal well-being of students.

My son is ADD and really struggled through elementary and junior high school. He was in the same district the entire time. He really grew academically, socially, and emotionally in senior high school due to the excellent teachers who really worked with him. We received valuable feedback on a consist...

I can only speak for my child at this time, not so much for the experiences of any other kids. My son has autsm/adhd and high school is that critical time where socializing and wanting to be well liked becomes an issue. The staff has been excellent with their support during tough times, and though b...
