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.

As a student of baker high school I believe it has both positives and negatives. They have many out of school activities and also help with career based learning much early than most schools. Is it perfect? By no means there are a number of problems from moldy vents, bad teachers, and eyebrow raising rules. All in all baker is much better than many schools around the area, but it could be better.

Baker isn't a horrible school but it needs a lot of improvements. The school is growing with no huge expansions. The school really needs a remodel of the main building. Also they need a bigger gym because they can't hold every student in the gym at the same time. There are some great teachers.

Very trying. Baker has great teachers, but they cannot mold the students properly because there's not proper support from the administration.

I don't know why the next few reviews are so negative. Baker is a great school with a caring and concerned faculty. My kids have had a great experience at Baker High.

Poorly ran school! I'm a parent, and I'm not impressed. I went to this school and it has changed! The staff is rude, and the environment is horrible. I do not recommend Baker High School.
