50 percent were Upper School parents, and 50 percent were Middle School parents.
70 percent were day families, and 30 percent were boarding families.

Beyond the Numbers
Parents were also given the opportunity to leave us a comment about anything they cared to share with the school. Their remarks help bring our survey numbers to life:

"Baylor exceeded our expectations of being welcomed as a family.”

“I want to thank the Baylor school for their warm welcome; this is an awesome school.”

“Our son is thriving, and we are so happy for him.”

“Our daughter has thrived at Baylor. Thank you for a wonderful first year!”

“My son is all in and really grew in his first year.”

“Our daughter been saying she’s ready for school to start for weeks.”

“Our son was pushed harder than ever, which is exactly what our son needed and we what we were hoping for.”

“My child keeps saying that she misses Baylor in the summer and can’t wait to get back on campus for a new school year.”

“There seems to be a brother/sisterhood that did not exist where our child previously went to school nor where we went to school.”

“Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for my child!”
