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.

I think the school needs more activities for students. The students get involved with drugs and violence because they do not have anything else to occupy their time. I would like to see more in school and out of school activities. I would also like to see the teachers be more involved with the students and be able to have one on one time with a student.

Baker High School opened my mind and let me try different things and discover myself. There were so many different classes to take and explore. I played volleyball there and it was an amazing experience. The teacher were super nice as well as the staff. I knew a lot of them by their first name and could count on them to have my back and understand.

Baker high school is a pretty nice school to send your students.The reason why i say that is because it's a certain that you get the education that you need from the school . I personal think that it can do a little more to the school but other then that the school is fine. I like the environment,the loving from the teachers and the administrators. Some days it might be rough and then other days it's going to be normal at the school. Most teachers would really sit there and help you while others will make sure you habe the basics that you are going to need.

Teachers do not respond to parents. Students are regularly the victim of thieves. Do yourself and your student a favor and homeschool your child
