Founded in 1893, the school's current campus comprises 690 acres and enrolls students in grades 6 to 12, including boarding students in grades 9 through 12. These students are served by Baylor's 140-member faculty, over two-thirds of whom hold advanced degrees, including nearly 40 adults who live on campus and serve as dorm parents. Baylor has had a student win the Siemens Award for Advanced Placement in math and science and a teacher received the National Siemens Award for Exemplary Teaching.
For the 2025–26 school year, Baylor enrolled 1120 young men and women for grades 6–12. Boarders comprise 31% of Baylor's upper school student body and originate from 19 states and 18 different countries. 88% of Baylor's coed boarding population hails from North America. Baylor maintains a 1:1 male-to-female ratio across day and boarding enrollment.
Baylor consistently wins the Max Preps Cup for the top overall high school athletics program in Tennessee, including for the 2024-25 year. Baylor has won 286 TSSAA state championships, the most of any school in Tennessee. The school has also repeatedly been named national champion in both men's and women's swimming, by Swimming World magazine.
