Excellent community, stong academics and amazing teachers!!

A Wonderful Experience at Baldwin SchoolThe Baldwin School has been a home for our family and an incredible place for our sons to learn and grow. Our oldest started in kindergarten, continued remotely in first grade, and returned in third through fifth grade—and throughout the years, Baldwin has been nothing short of amazing.We believe Baldwin is the best place for our son, who has mild autism, and we are truly going to miss it. The teachers and staff have helped him build confidence, develop socially, and excel academically. In fact, he received a recognition letter from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for achieving one of the highest Grade 3 MCAS scores in the state that year. In Grade 4, he earned a perfect math score on the MCAS—one of just 55 students out of 67,000 to accomplish this. His kindergarten, second, third, fourth, and fifth-grade teachers were especially remarkable in bringing out the best in him.One of the things that makes Baldwin truly special is the dedicated team of education experts who have worked to ensure our son had the support he needed to succeed. Over time, as he grew and gained confidence, those supports were slowly peeled away, allowing him to become more independent while still thriving.We also want to give special recognition to one incredible teacher who ran an economy system in her classroom and went above and beyond to make sure our son felt included, happy, and engaged. Her thoughtful approach helped him build confidence in social interactions and classroom participation, and it meant the world to us and our son. And all Baldwin teachers were excellent!Beyond the classroom, Baldwin fosters a strong community. The administration, led by Ms. Heidi, is solid—things run smoothly, communication is clear, and the school is well-organized. The Friends of Baldwin (PTA) creates so many wonderful experiences for families, from STEM days and bake sales to ski trips, math game nights, and family fun runs. One of our favorite memories was organizing a kimbap party for our child’s class, a reflection of the inclusive and welcoming environment Baldwin cultivates.We are sad that our oldest is graduating but thrilled that our youngest still has grades 2-5 ahead at Baldwin! We feel incredibly lucky to continue being part of this amazing school community.Thank you, Baldwin School, for everything!

I don't know how they get 7/10, they should be 1/10 or 2/10 at most.

This is the worst school in Cambridge!My children were bullied and faced a life-threatening situation for over 2 years yet the principal and teachers ignored it entirely. We reached out to the police department multiple times and filled more than two police reports . At the end the police officer who referred us to the person in charge at the school — but we never received any response.No one helped us. Not a single person — not the school district, not the councilwoman, not any leader or elected official. The system is broken, and someone needs to investigate the principal immediately. Children’s safety should never be ignored like this.

Our son's first year at KLO has been great (K-student). The teachers, admin, and the environment -diversity here is beautiful- are just amazing. The school has offered great support and resources during this COVID-19 period, helping kids to continue learning as smooth but effective as possible.

I can truly recommend this school. Very good teachers and community. My sons had wonderful experiences at Morse, they improved English, gained academic improvements and love their school. School stuff and teachers always helpful and make friendly and safety environment for students. Thank you!

The Fletcher-Maynard school is a wonderful school that fosters young innovative minds. It also does its job in involving parents and making them accountable in their children's education. I love the school hours as it keeps students out of trouble. Fletcher-Maynard Academy is the place to send your child; I'm a proud parent of one of their bright scholars.

the teachers, especially in the higher grades, are always so dramatic about things. it’s been almost 2 years since i’ve graduated and i can honestly say that i don’t miss amigos or its teachers whatsoever. yes, it is better than some cambridge schools in terms of education but overall i believe that the connection between the students and teachers is simply not there; it always felt as if the teachers, specifically one who i will not name, always prioritized his ego rather than the education of the students. also, i’ve witnessed teachers blame certain students for things despite not having any evidence. there was an incident in a class i was in where a student wrote “sex” on the whiteboard. the teacher was infuriated and told 5 students to stay after class, i was one of the 5. he told us that he suspects that one of us wrote it or knew who wrote it. i personally did not know anything, and i genuinely did not know why he was so insistent that it was one of us. all of us said that we did not know who it was, which only made him more infuriated. during this, i asked him why he thought it was one of us which he did not answer and to this day this i do not know why. in my perspective, i feel it was unfair since i don’t believe i was a student that would often misbehave in that class. i never received a “lunch detention,” never interrupted him, or caused a disturbance in the class, but still, i recognize that he might have viewed me differently. even with that consideration, i still do think his accusatory behavior was extremely unprofessional. moving forward, this support for neurodivergent children or disabled children is virtually nonexistent. although it may be a result of a lack of resource or training on the teachers part, i’ve witnessed a severe lack of support for children who are challenged. for example, in amigos there was an autistic girl in my class who would have frequent incidents, which the teachers would hardly contain and instead try to punish her instead of teaching her which made the situation worse. it seemed as if everytime the teachers tried to contain a situation, it only got worse. i really only enjoyed the grades kindergarten-6th in this school. i really don’t recommend this school unless you REALLY want your children to learn spanish or be in a spanish environment, since this is the only school in cambridge that offers this experience.
