My daughter is in her second year of attendance at the special education pre-school program. I can not express to you the patience, inteligence and love that these teachers give every day. When my daughter first came to baldwin(3yrs old) she was saying very few words and could not follow simple directions

Within 6 months of being in the program, she was clearly communicating more and I was finally able to get to know the little girl that was just waiting to come out. She still has some work to do, but I can not imagine where we would be without this school. The spirit of this school, from the secretary all the way up to the principal, is pure love. Thank you Baldwin! Read less

This school has excellent programs for its students. I have seen Baldwin change over the years. I have had 3 children attend Baldwin from K-6. I currently have 2 children attending Baldwin this year. I am glad that they attend this school, however I do not agree with how the new principal Mrs. Wright

I currently have a child at Baldwin and another who attended k through 6th. For the most part I have been extremely happy with the school programs (like music and science fairs) and delighted with the teachers. Ms. Ross, the current principal, was an excellent addition to the school. Ms. Ross is firm

The children are forced to wear over priced and often undurable dress. The rules keep adding more color options which makes the common dress much less distinctive than uniforms. What is the point if they don't look common any longer? Also, as another parent mentioned, I am unhappy with the limited playground use, as my daughter is in the upper grades now. She tells me that upper graders can no longer use the playground equipment, which we find terribly unfair. I'm also unhappy with the lunch staff as I feel they rush children too quickly as they're eating. Read less

I have been very happy with Baldwin. My children have always had wonderful, dedicated and caring teachers. The one thing I dislike about the school is having the primary grade and upper grade students alternate use of the one playground structure. Children should have a playground to play on everyday,
