We have been at this school for the past 5 years. Our second child just finished her first year at Baldwin and our eldest is going into his last (6th grade). During our time here I have experienced all the grades and many of the teachers, including 2 principals. The teaching staff is pretty awesome and really do a great job of trying to connect with the students and families. Many of them have been employees within the school district for years and are well experienced. I will say Baldwin has really made an effort to help students post covid deal with emotional and social development. I have been happy with my children's time here and would recommend this school to other families in the area. The surrounding community has seen an influx of families within the last 3 years with parent engagement, participation and volunteerism growing yearly. All of this has helped establish a sense of community that seems to be focused on intentional inclusion, diversity and improvement. That old saying "it takes a village" to raise children can be felt in the friendships our family has built within the school with the staff and fellow Baldwin families.

Bernal has been an incredible experience for my daughter! She loves the welcoming campus environment, and the teachers have been so encouraging and supportive. Their dedication made her transition to this school seamless and stress-free. It's clear the staff truly cares about the student's growth and well-being. We're grateful to be part of this community.

The former staff are great but the new one are unfriendly and inconsiderate. Well everything has change. Im glad they didn't accept my kid i was upset at first because he has been in this school since k-2 suddenly idk why he was assigned to another school. I talked to the disctrict about it and they said it is up to Anderson school if they accept him. From what? he is always been in anderson school even though thier reason is “out of range” googled map it it is closer to my residence than the other school that my kid that they accidentally assigned. I dont understand this people. “Out of range” huh! My kid been attending this school and it is out of range!

School can do so much better if they really tried. They need more teachers who actually want to be there, make classroom a fun yet challenging environment. Teachers need to grade materials on time so kids don’t suffer at term end with lower grades. Seems like they don’t care. Lack of communication. You only hear from them at beginning of school open house. Still learning how this school works hoping it gets better. Around the school needs cleaning as well esp under and around bleachers area. As a parent, make sure you get canvas app and stay on top otherwise no one is watching over your kids.
