GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part of my Highschool is the administration. My assistant principal is very caring. The worst part would be that the school is very old and needs to be remodeled. I would like to update the school with a new library.

At baker school , I love how everyone knows each other . As a senior many of us know kids in younger grades. Many of us aid in other classes for that reason. There's isn't much diversity other than the few different colored kids including me. There isn't any racism though and the administration take it very seriously. I would like to see better progress to help us get ready for the real world such as how to do taxes and loans etc. I would also like to see attention to the soccer program that we no longer have because of this school. Many kids like soccer but we haven't had a team for the past few years so we play recreation soccer in hopes that we will have a program before we graduate. But all in all , baker is my favorite school I have been too. I've traveled through many states because I am in a military family and baker is home. This is a town I can always go back to. I don't have family here but I have made many friends who's parents call me there son. I call baker my home.

Baker School is a place where I went all my life. I grew up there and I attended K-12 there. It wasn't a bad school, the teachers were good and kind and I received my diploma like anybody else. However, it wasn't the cleanest and certainly not to the highest of education standards.

5 STARS!! I LOVE this school, I LOVE the teachers even more. They rule the classroom, not the kids like you see in other places. This is a small town school where everybody seems to be friends regardless of social status. My kids have attended school in Japan, New Jersey, Kentucky, and Florida. Bake...

I graduated baker in 2013. Teachers are nice and generally responsive to students needs. Once, I had problems with another student harassing me, and the disciplinarian was quick to make a restraining order and fix the issue. My family and I were so thankful!But this isn't the place to go if you plan...

I am currently going into the 11th grade and I love it here. I have seen reviews saying things about how its all about who you know. Well, I can tell you that is wrong. My parents nor me really hot to know anyone in the school until later on. Possibly somewhere in middle school. But the key is behav...
