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 Baker would be its student involvement in clubs.If you could think of a club it most likely already existed. One thing that could improve would be helping students prepare for collage.

It has been a good and bad experience. Some teachers act like they are entitled to do whatever they want. The plumbing is hirendous, sinks don't work, some stalls don't have doors, and the pipes have exploded. They have cut-back on resources for the students for economical reasons.
