The best part of my high school experience was me joining the Baker High School Buffettes Dance Team. I loved dancing ever since I was younger, also the amount of support that we receive from the staff. I'm learning more this year than I have in a while.

I left Helix Mentorship Steam Academy in October 2023, during that same month I attended Baker High School and it was the best decision I ever made in my life. The teachers always wants what's best for you and will push you, so by the time you leave there you will be something in life.

My experience at baker high was somewhat good. The discipline and guidance can be a lot better, but our school is always counted out. I wish we had better help from others.

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