Baytown has grown tremendously over the past 15 years. Once the shopping mall is completed, Baytown will be a 5-star city. Several single-family neighborhoods have sprung up in various locations with easy access to highways. Restaurants offer everything from barbeque to Thai food. The school system is highly rated by the state of Texas. In addition, the teacher-to-student ratio allows more extensive instruction, which ensures academic success.
It is a very small community and very quiet! It feels like a home. I love it! It has many schools and about 3 high schools. They are building a lot of new homes as well. The homes they are building are veey nice but the cost of the homes are very expensive. I think they should raise the pay on most jobs here so that it would be affordable to get some nice and new for a great start in someones life.
I would like to see fewer chemical plants since the area is filled with them everywhere you look. Furthermore, I would like to see the educational system change from purely plant-based education, for instance, STEM labs, instead of going further into other occupations that can further educate students to do better than the norm in Baytown. Baytown could change this behavior by introducing other medical, medicine, communicational studies, law, business, etcetera. The educational system uses a method that helps talented students succeed in what they desire, unlike the average students who only receive the help to pass their classes. Therefore, Baytown needs some aid concerning education, but overall it is still a great place to live.
