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 thought it was decent, and it does have good teachers. Most of my teachers were very good. We also have very big honors classes which can either be very good or very bad. You also have access to the Running Start program which is good.

My experience ar Mount Baker has been a fairly average one. I can't say I enjoyed it too much, but I also can't say it was that bad. The staff is overall very supportive of the students, though there are some shortcomings. I think they could pay more attention to the personal well-being of students.

My son has autsm/adhd and high school is that critical time where socializing and wanting to be well liked becomes an issue. The staff has been excellent with their support during tough times, and though b...

My son attended Nooksack Valley till we told them that they needed to get him some help as he was ADD and learning disabled. They argued with us that he should be medicated. So they plunked him straight into special education classes, then he was teased. So I enrolled him in Mount Baker and he reall...
