School Reviews

5   10/10/2025
Baucom is a good school overall. The teachers there are good and I feel my daughter has learned a lot. She has been happy at the school and I have no "big" complaints. The AG program at other elementary schools have been better and she is forced into a "quiet" lunch to finish work if she misses school and had to "pull a card" (a punishment) to go to the bathroom in 4th grade, so there are things that could be better especially with good kids that behave, there is no need for this negative treatment.
