Read what parents are saying about George F Baker High SchoolAdministration is secretive. Kids hate the school. The education is subpar. The school is getting smaller and smaller as families leave for private where there is more offered. Great schools shows 130 kids grades 9-12. That number is 7-12. Grades 9-12 has about 80 and will have less than that next year.
Posted by a parent on 3/30/2016Great small school. Supportive learning environment, solid program. Inclusion of STEM is fantastic. Have two happy kids in attendance.
Posted by a parent on 1/21/2016Updated 2015 - High School lost 80% of its student population when neighboring town that tuitioned in their students pulled out. There are now only 75 kids TOTAL in grades 9-12. No choices, school like a ghost town. Academics poor, social atmosphere even worse.
Posted by a community member on 11/13/2015Both of my children attended and graduated from George F Baker High School. They received a wonderful all around educational experience. The teachers, administration and support staff know the students, communicate with the parents and guide the students through their high school years. I often felt they were receiving a private school education. The classes are small and educationally nurturing and the opportunities to participate in varied activities plentiful.
Posted by a parent on 3/29/2015I'm a freshman and was nervous coming to high school. I was pleasantly surprised how friendly and close everyone was. The teachers are excellent, and genuinely care about helping students. Something different about this school is that students don't talk badly about teachers behind their back. Some classes are difficult, but the teachers and other students are always there for help. My grades have improved since I came here, classes I've been failing before, I have a full understanding of now, and I have great grades in all of my classes. The principal and assistant principal are reasonable guys, who understand the students yet keep order and enforce the rules. I would definitely recommend this school.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school provided my children with the attention and care one might expect from a small community school or a private school. Teachers and administrators know the students and guide and educate them accordingly. Communication with parents was very good! Phone calls were always returned. Extra curricular activities were more inclusive than some larger schools.Parent Review8y ago - Tuxedo Park School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen a child walks into the Tuxedo Park School they do so with a confidence that is unmatched. From the day's first handshake, each child is given the encouragement and tools to be a true learner, a confident individual, and successful, caring team member. At TPS, it is not about memorization and the ability to complete the day's tasks. At TPS my child was taught by caring, committed, and intelligent teachers. Teachers work together to allow learning to cross pollinate across different academic areas. A study of ancient science in History spilled over to essays and performances in English. Here kindergartners don't memorize lines for a school play. They select the story, write the script, design and make their set and costumes before performing in front of an entire school on the stage inside the beautiful Blairhame, Here the arts are not an afterthought or placeholder. A walk through the school's hallways and dining room showcase the beautiful works of art that each child brings to life whether it be on paper, wood, glass, or clay. The auditorium swells with the songs of the chorus and the music of the orchestra or the smaller bands, including my favorite Junk Orchestra.On the field in front of the school each and every child is an athlete. In the woods that surround the school and field are acres of open space and woods to hike and explore.Here each child is known by name. Each child is celebrated. Each child is taught to be kind, fair and responsible.If it sounds too good to be true, go for a visit and see it all for yourself. I'm glad we did. There is not a moment we regret sending our daughter to the Tuxedo Park School.Parent Review4w ago
