I love Baldwin High School. It has such a great energy. All of the staff really cares about your well being, and your future success. I am proud to be a student, and soon have it be my alma mater.

Overall, it's not a terrible school, but they need to improve. Every experience I've had with a guidance counselor here has been terrible. I can never get one to help me so I've always relied on doing things myself and have dreaded anytime I need to speak with them. The teaching staff is a hit or miss. You either get a nice teacher willing to help you or a teacher that could care less about you.

College prep should be a priority. The "life skills" c...
