School Reviews

I am a student at Baldwin High School and I'm satisfied with the academics at this school and how it operates. This School has all the potential to be the best but never really gets any support from the DOE. My main concern is that you want studentsand staff to have healthy eating habits in and out of school but can you really say that our food there is sanitary!Well not only that our teachers are here to support us in any way possible and for us to get a head start in life but don't really have the tools to do it.For example, the standards given for us to be taught to do the best to our ability has no tools needed to do the job. You might think that I can sit here and tell you what's wrong with our school, but the thing is is that our school is a very "Aloha" kind of place and every staff member is doing their job and taken care of their students.The staff finds every way possible to get us ahead in life and that's what they've done with all love in their hearts. Peace
