Baldwin Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.82 out of 5 289 reviews
As a current senior of the Baldwin High School, it is a very average school to attend. The teachers and student body make the school much more bearable, but the constantly changing faculty does not create the most stable or organized environment for the students. The administration definitely could improve in terms of how they handle and prepare students for college without much preparation or interaction besides a course you can take senior year, only if you have time in your schedule. If you don't have time in your schedule, you will likely have no clue how to be prepared for your future. As for the sports teams, there are always a few who are good, but many usually aren't great. Money for sports spent excessively on football for an underperforming program most years. One positive I have heard from people in other districts is the band, plays, and musicals that are typically well known and very well performed.
I liked it as my teachers were amazing as well as the fact that the school was also quite huge in its buildings. This allowed it to accommodate large programs that were quite fun and engaging. Because of this, it allowed me to experience lots of new things. I especially liked my English classes as they were quite a lot of fun and my experiences in them were amazing. Although one thing that I would criticize is the fact that the school sometimes had delays or even school closures when we needed it, such as the ones when it was snowing quite heavily and every other school district was closed besides ours. On top of that my school was sometimes quite unaccommodating of the fact that work would be late for many factors. But besides that when I had a broken arm my school and teachers did accommodate me quite well in the fact they let me do my homework remotely instead of forcing me to do it by myself on paper. Although I do wish that they would make the SAT test days in the high school.
I graduated in June 2021. The school was a really nice environment, nice building, with fun activities that anyone can feel free to join in. Whenever I felt anxious, there was a “chill room” that I went to to calm myself down. Most of the teachers can be helpful and supportive when you need it. Overall, it was a nice school!
