We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, my experience at Baldwin High School was average. During my hardest times, I felt very supported by certain staff, while very unsupported by others. Baldwin's school spirit is extremely strong, even when our teams take a loss. Baldwin also takes threats to our safety very seriously and calls to action immediately.

My experiences with Baldwin High school are overall neutral, the teachers and guidance there are very nice and will aid you whatever assistance you need. What could've been better at Baldwin is how the teachers handle serious situations happening at the schools such as mental health, etc.

During my senior year most of the better teachers retired and they were between principals but that doesn't excuse the fact that I was poorly prepared for my future. College prep should be a priority. The "life skills" c...
