It seems I have made myself a reputation here as a Baxter simp to be called out like that (not that I mind lol).  Anyway, to answer the question, how Izzy feels about Baxter is obvious (duh) while she is quite indifferent to Ren. Ren not wanting to hang out with girls didn't bother her much as she understands that people has their own preferences when it comes to friendship. 

Despite Ren initial reluctance, it didn't took long for her to be accepted as part of the club due to her tomboish nature and go with the flow attitude that match well with the trio of boys. 

Hmm well Amilia at step one don't rilly nad a opon on boys club skiping the part that she still don't Like darren from that first inpreson and baxter it was jast werd for her how calm he was hit prefer him over darren and biside that she don't mind biging in it bc off Qiu maby biging in it and that Qiu care enoth to try to make her comfotible in it

Kris would be like 'oh a group of randos how cool' clearly being sarcastic but in the end she would enjoy their company, especially Baxter since he's rich and nonchalant she would be like ok this guy is cool

Dot would be very interested in them thinking they're cool and older, probably would follow them around like a duckling if Qiu or Tamarack isn't there. I think somewhat of Baxter's indulgent(?) behavior is the reason why Dot follows him, and because of Ren's aversion to girls- that's what made Dot follow Ren (Because I was a child that wanted to be everybody's friend). She wanted to join when Qiu offered but since Tamarack didn't, and she didn't want Tamarack to be odd one out, she refused, but then joins after the two bonding moments.

Shù does not like them because she's intimidated by them. They didn't want to refuse Qiu's offer, but the thought of having to be in a club with two strangers- older strangers nonetheless- scared him, a lot. Honestly, with how timid they are, I feel like Baxter and Ren would feel pity and a bit of annoyance with Shù.

Cran doesn't like Baxter because something about that boy doesn't sit right with him, he's a bit more iffy with Ren, he doesn't like the way Ren treats Tamarack, but he's chill with Ren, for the most part. He joins in the club because why not? There's not much else in a sleepy town.

Fran is iffy with Baxter because Baxter pointed out the birthmark on their forehead- the birthmark also has a scar over it and the origins is a sore subject- and with Ren, they're teasing the heck out of them to see the reactions. Fran is also in the boys' club, probably bonds with Baxter over ragebating other people. (Baxter feels like a person to ragebait)

Ari hates them- Baxter feels like 'rich boy 101' and Ren is too huffy for his taste (Look who's talking, Ari 😒). He's not in the club at all because why would he want to do something so childish? Very much saying it to their faces, and probably insults them in French.

Hee-Jin admires Baxter greatly because he's mature and rich (rich people facinate her like how some people are facinated with birds), heavily dislikes Ren because of the 'not liking girls' part of Ren's personality in Step 1. Naturally she doesn't join because of that and I think Ren and Hee-Jin have a rivalry and bicker- most of the time ending with 'Why am I even bothering arguing with a little kid?' From Ren.

Phya sees Baxter like a cat and that amuses him greatly, it would probably clock his crush on Qiu. He feels for Ren and probably herds Tamarack away to keep Ren comfortable, if the dynamics were set, Phya to Ren would be: Teamworking, Praising, and Doting. I think it does it's best to help Ren out if the group has to make contact with girls. He's in the boys club after the 1st bonding moment.

KK hates Ren because he thinks that she is a filthy misogynist and KK is a feminist. 

He also finds Baxter stuck up and annoying, and thinks he's an idiot.

He does tolerate them, however. Initially he declines the invitation to join the club, though ends up joining despite any animosity because he had a lot of fun playing with them in walks and he is slowly warming up to Qiu. He also just gets a slightly giddy feeling from the thought of being in a club for BOYS in any capacity (unknown gender euphoria).

Charles is very afraid of Baxter. He seems to understand that he's a good guy, but looking at Baxter reminds him of his bullies from first school. He communicates very well with Darren, even though he was scared to death of Ren at first.  Although Charles refused to be part of the club because he wants to communicate with everyone and he is not very attracted to the club life.

it is NO secret that blythe likes the mean people lmao. In step 1, Blythe finds Ren funny because they just hate her SO SO much for nooo (?) reason .. and wants to get them to like her! But Blythe actually finds Ren's disdain to be entertaining for her, so she hasnt done a thing to stop it 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Blythe totally respects Baxter though, since "she has to respect her elders" (no clue where that went for ren). she finds him as "closed off" because he acts so tuff and stuff, but enjoys the fact that he goes along with the flow! Blythe tends to drag him around if they're together lol (figuratively)

right from first glance, noel (my mc) looked at baxter with stars in her eyes. something about baxter being a fancy rich kid really interested her! she developed a small crush on him later on but quickly moved on and started seeing him more as a brother figure instead. 

for ren on the other hand, she didn't like him. AT ALL. you know how ren is just so slightly more distant to girls but noel really took that personally, thinking he didn't like her and that started the one-sided beef between the two of them which lasted for about 2 years
