I have had multiple kids at the school, Including an EC student. The first year my kids went it was good. The second year it took a turn. The bullying in the school is awful. You kid get in trouble for defending themself. The school has taught my daughter that teachers and staff don't listen when there bullied or hurt and to take matters into there own hands. but school rules don't help them as they get in trouble. I have had to get my kid in therapy to help my child understand what and why the school acts this way. I have had to pull one of my kids out of the school due to temp. teachers and the treatment my EC child received. I have been to three elementary school in the hope mills areas and this one is by far the worst one. i understand staffing is hard to find, however I believe success starts with the administration and I am shown there no unity at the school, its a bully administration with little minions that follow suit. All the staff that stands up for right and wrong get fired or quit. I don't blame them, I cant watch or join in on abuse. Please don't put children in this school, and 100% keep your EC children away from the school, are special needs children need a voice and not to be viewed as a pay check. The family Engagement is set, the school does have monthly activities or learning lessons to keep parents in the loop for all grades except for EC, we dont get a booth or table during this events. yes, are kids learn different but we should be inculded. I have applied to be a family Ambassador for EC but I was declined. There is so much room for growth between the parents and school but for whatever reason administration rejects change.

This school is absolutely horrible. They don't check ID's when someone is picking up a child. Anyone could check out your student. Ever since Ms Williams became principal the test scores have dropped terrible and bullying in the school has gotten AWFUL. She doesn't NOT care about the students. She only cares about her "Authority". She plays favorites and throws how kids feel to the side. She automatically throws kids into trouble rather than taking the time to care. She doesn't care about the kids or the school, only the fact she can be "In charge". She has control issues and it's horrible. She is running Baldwin into the ground!!!

Baldwin is a great school. I have a 5th grader that has been there since Kindergarten and I also have a current Kindergartener that started in PreK. Every single year my children have had caring and competent teachers. I never have any issues keeping communication with the school and I really enjoy their new comprehensive curriculum adding the IB model.

My child goes here we have had several problems in regards to his/her safety. This school picks and chooses when they want to follow school procedure and when they dont. You can't seem to get the principal to do anything because hes more worried about making or keeping a friendship with his coworkers and hes just not confrontational he has no backbone. Ive seen teachers use their authority in the wrong way and kind of bully children ive seen teachers putting their hands on children which I dont think is ok but wont worry about it until it involves mine. Whatever concerns I have I go straight to the board of education and thats kind of sad because the principal should be able to do his job. Im not saying all of the staffbis bad but I do strongly feel some shouldnt even be working with children. I dont know if its due to non parent involvement but I am very involved with mine but some of what I have seen is not ok. This school has no structure and the feel they can go against what the boary policy is this school really needs to get it together.

My daughter came home from her first day of Kindergarten already knowing how to sign the ABC's. The teachers at Baldwin are always coming up with fun ways to teach. My daughter loves her teacher there. We will be sad to move. I have nothing bad to say about Baldwin Elementary!

Love that they have so many great opportunities for me and my family to be a part of the school setting. Reading night, book fairs and parent nights, they keep us informed and up with our children's education. Thank you!

Our daughter LOVED her kindergarten teacher at Baldwin and we regreted having to move to another state for job relocation. The facilities were a little outdated (no gymnasium). I cannot say enough nice things about the teacher-student relationship and not just my daughter's teacher, but the whole staff was generous with their time, energy and smiles. I would definitely reccommend this school to anyone who wants their child to develop a relationship with the school. The PTA was also seeming to revive and work on involvement as well.

Baldwin is wonderful school that focuses on the academic needs of it students. Each year my daughter has been blessed with teachers that have provided a caring climate with a rigorous curriculum. The staff does an great job of communicating with parents. Her current teachers communicate through emails, progress reports, homework logs, and by posting updated grades on NC wise. This has allowed me to monitor her progress through out the year. Due to their dedication my daughter has been able to thrive in 5th grade. The principal, Mr. Yardis, has also done a fine job of keeping parents informed of the changes in the curriculum. He has reached out to the parents by giving parents the opportunity to learn about the new standards through curriculum nights, parent sessions with administrators, and school "walk-throughs". These have been valuable experiences which allowed me to ask questions and discuss any concerns I may have with the full attention of the teacher and/or administrators. Baldwin is a GREAT school because of its exceptional teachers, friendly staff, and strong leadership. We have loved our time hear and are sad about leaving.

My daughter is now in 2nd grade and has been at Baldwin since Pre-K. She loves going to school! I feel confident in dropping her off every morning and knowing that she will have a quality education. She's had fantastic teachers every year and I know that she will continue to have a great elementary school experience.

My son is a kindergarten student at Baldwin. He LOVES his teacher and believes anything his teachers says is the absolute and only truth. I love the fact that students are offered many rewards and incentives for good behavior and that families are offered events to attend together, like game night and reading night. The staff members are friendly, helpful, and hard-working. I have enjoyed my son's experience at the school!

Being at Baldwin for a few years now, change is ALWAYS hard because there are always positives and negatives present. By far, Baldwin has been the best in embracing new changes from the state dealing with The Common Core. Mr. Yardis (Principal) has gone above and beyond by informing the parents of the new standards & being interactive in helping our children succeed. The caring staff utilize remediation and enrichment time which is scheduled into my children's normal school day. I LOVE the individualized attention my son receives from Mrs. Hart. He gets a weekly progress report outlining strengths and weaknesses. I couldn't ask for a better school that embraces learning and addresses EACH individual need that each child represents. Ms. Blumenschien does an outstanding job in informing us through phone calls, letters and e-mail. My younger child LOVES working with the IPADS. The individualized attention is also expanded through use of classroom technology in lap tops. TEST SCORES MEAN NOTHING THIS YEAR as the state is in the process of changing to new standards. I am thankful for positive changes and look forward to seeing the "proof in the pudding".

I have been extremely pleased with the faculty and administration at Baldwin Elementary School. I have two of my sons enrolled in Kindergarten, and I have been very pleased with what goes on in the classroom. The teachers are effective and caring, and the administration is very involved in trying to make Baldwin the best school possible. Teachers are willing to tutor students who are falling behind, and I have never had any difficulty getting in touch with a teacher, or the principal for that matter.

My child has attended Baldwin for several years. We are a part of the military community, moving and deployments. The teachers and staff have shown true caring and understanding in helping my children deal with difficult situations. Teachers are professional, understanding and hard working; I only hope my son's middle school experience fairs as well!

When I moved to Hope Mills, Baldwin was a 7 in rating (2009). Last year school I enrolled my daughter into the school for kindergarten the rating was a 5. After 12 months they have drop to a 4! So you can see where this is going. I regret putting my daughter this school where the teachers have no control in their classrooms, the majority of the students have no interest in learning and the administration doesn't seem to care what is going on in the classrooms. I would blame the parents for not being involved or taking action but that's just not the case here. Because three miles down the road is Rockfish Elementary and they seem to know how to run a school with a rating of a 9 (they had a 8 in 2009) and I hardly hear parents or teachers complaining about the behavior of the students or the education slacking. If I could move my daughter I would.

This school is okay! It is not all that to me at ALL!!!!! I love Mr. Patterson!!! He is an awesome teacher, role model, and disciplinarian. Mrs. Helms was awesome she was at this school. The school does not have a playground or gym for the students. The leader also known as the principal is very rude!!!! He walks right pass the parents and students and never speaks. The front desk lady is also not friendly at all!!!! Please look for another school for your child to go to. This school is very poor and the teachers dress horrible.
