“I am a former student at Newton D. Baker, and i loved that school. I started going there in the first grade, and left in the eigth. I relly appreciate all that came out of it. I really miss that school, and will never forget the people who got me where i am today. I now attend John Hay, and i was prepared for high school coming out of N.D.B. I reccomend this school for any body is ready for challenges, and loves opportunities because. at Newton D. Baker you can find all that and more.”

“my daughter has been going to NDB for almost 5 years now and I am so glad we were able to get her into this school, she is excited about learning and focused on her goals of becoming a dancer. Between all her regular classes she is in art club, dance club and conflict mediation and has begged me to never take her out of this school.”

“My daughter has went to NDB for 4 years now. We are getting ready to move out of the city and I will certainly miss NDB. It has been a wonderful experience for her, the teachers and staff are wonderful. She was able to take Dance, Drama, Violin, and Art club. This is one of the best if not the best school in CMSD.”

“Two of my children attend N.D.B. and they very much like their teachers. The academic quality of teaching is outstanding. My only worry is the security at the school where all kinds of people, be it parents or other, are allowed to enter the building with, what seems to be, little supervision. This is a great concern for me. The security in the school should be re-evaluated.”

“We have two children at Newton D. Baker School of Arts. The staff and the programs are excellent. I would highly recommend that anyone in the CMSD consider sending their children to this magnet school in the Westpark neighborhood.”

“This was my children first year at N.D.B. kindergarten and first grades. The teachers are the best. With my first gader attending another school for his kindergarten year I had the chance to compare teachers from two schools, and I have to say the teachers at N.D.B. are excellent, their caring, patient and kind. They always strive to make sure the students are learning a variety of subjects that can be carried on even into adulthood. They make sure no child is left behind (like I experienced at another school). Parents from other schools (some private) are amazed at the knowledge my children have at their young ages and how well they adjust to other cultures. I tell them it's all because of N.D.B. I wouldn't have it any other way! The entire staff,parents, principal are all wonderful. -Peacenlyn (V.P.)”

“My daughter just completed kindergarten. We are moving out of state and NDB is what we will miss most. NDB is wonderful! She has flourished this year. Her school experience this year was very positive, and has given her confidence that she can succeed. Academically, she is far ahead of her old friends from the suburbs who attended kindergarten half days. This school is wonderful.”

“I love this school! I currently have two children here and one that graduated from here and I can attest to the fact that NDB is one of the best schools in the district if not the best! If it were not for NDB going to K-8 I was considering homeschooling my son now it is not even a consideration. When my daughter left NDB and went to the school of science her new teachers were so impressed with the education that she had already recieved and commented on how much more advanced she was than some of her other peers that did not attend NDB. So believe me when I say that the children of NDB really do learn more! -Alicia”

“In the midst of a struggling urban school district, this elementary magnet school of the arts is a shining star. With test scores among the highest in the district and competitive with suburban elementary schools, Baker's teachers are the best. This school is racially and economically diverse with students coming from all over the city of Cleveland. There are very few discipline problems as all the students enjoy learning in the positive, supportive environment. This school receives local, state and national awards and grants for it's innovative and successful arts program including funding for artists in residence programs. My son is in kindergarten and has written his own play, performed in a dance recital and brought home art work created with a variety of methods and mediums. A local corporation funded the professional quality dance studio and all the parents agree this is the best school in the district and we wouldn't send our children anywhere else - including private and charter schools! The school is moving toward K-8th grade with 6th grade being added in 2004/2005 or 2005/2006.”
