Baker High School

This school has been great at hosting events in which parents can be involved. Children are rewarded when they behave and are encouraged to do better. The school staff is very friendly. My son has done very well at this school.

I am shocked to see that Orourke has a low score. I went there when it opened many years ago and my son is in his last year there and has been there since 4k. The staff and teachers are incredible. They have a new principal who seems to be doing a good job so far. My son is part of the "Covid class" so I feel that the school excelled when having to deal with all of that. We are sad that this is our last year there and are grateful for all the love and support we have received from Orourke Elementary.

Given the level of services, I would not pay to send my child to Faith. The teachers are underqualified compared to Saraland, Satsuma, and Baldwin County teachers (probably because they barely pay a livable wage). Secondly, they have a history of hiring friends and family which leads to scandals such as the soccer coach scandal. The guidance counselor (part of a family who has sent at least 4 kids through Faith) who did not report the incident as a mandatory reporter and then had the audacity to appeal her sentence was never terminated by Faith which should be very concerning to prospective families. Athletes get coddled, families with money get coddled, and friends and family get coddled. Instead of throwing away money, go to church, then put your child in a better performing private school like St. Paul's or better yet, Saraland, Satsuma, Spanish Fort, Fairhope, or Daphne.

A wonderful family welcoming community. All my kids attend and the staff take time to know each of their children and parents.

My experience with Dr. Johnson at Cottage Hill Christian Academy has been disappointing. Since he came in, things have changed and not in a positive way. He often comes across as condescending, and quite a lot of parents feel the same way. There’s a growing sense that he’s more concerned with control than connection, and it’s made the atmosphere at the school feel tense and divided.Cottage Hill used to have such a strong, welcoming community, but that sense of trust has really faded under his leadership. Many of us truly hope to see improvement or a change in how things are handled moving forward.

This is our second year at MJA.. my two daughters were in pre k and k last year and absolutely loved it. After coming from daycare where they complained about going every day they were excited and said they have fun all day and didn't even realizing they were learning at the time they both the finished the year knowing how to read and were upset when summer started! Now we are back and they love it just the same. The teachers are amazing the classes are small and very much a family type atmosphere the classes are blended grades which is interesting and the kids seem to like.. It's seventh day Adventist and they teach the Bible just as we learn at our non denominational church. The teachers are excellent with communication to parents and support parent involvement.. the younger kids do so much outside. I love that my kids come home sweaty and dirty like the good ole days... I really can't praise them enough for all that they do and how much they love all the children and work with different learning types and any special needs and are so in tuned to what each child needs.

All three of my children have gone to this school. We love the teachers and staff.
