Baker County Senior High School

Summary:

Baker County Senior High School is a public high school located in Glen St. Mary, Florida, serving 1,425 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Baker District, which is ranked 25th out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Baker County Senior High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (79.23%) compared to nearby schools like San Jose Early College at Cecil (37.1%) and Baldwin Middle-Senior High School (54.91%), the school has faced several challenges. Its four-year graduation rates have declined from 86.0% in 2020-2021 to 76.3% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.7% in 2019-2020 to 34.3% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the nearby schools.

Baker County Senior High School's academic performance has also been a concern, with test scores generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in Algebra 1 EOC, the school's proficiency rate was 31% compared to the state's 55% and the district's 51%. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 196 out of 716 Florida high schools in 2017-2018 to 399 out of 807 in 2023-2024, indicating a decline in overall performance compared to other schools in the state. While the school's spending per student has increased, this increased resource allocation has not yet translated into significant improvements in academic performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
