Summary:
The city of Baker, Montana is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Baker K-12 Schools district. While the schools have a predominantly white student population, Baker High School stands out as the top-performing school, ranking 55th out of 124 high schools statewide and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Baker 7-8 middle school ranks lower at 110th out of 187 middle schools.
The elementary schools in Baker also show varying levels of performance, with Lincoln School maintaining a consistent 3- or 4-star rating and ranking 56th out of 230 elementary schools in the 2006-2007 school year, the highest among the Baker schools. Meanwhile, Longfellow School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years. The district-level performance, with Baker K-12 Schools ranked 165th out of 300 districts in Montana and rated 2 stars, may be a factor influencing the individual school rankings.
One area of concern is the lack of diversity in the student population across the Baker schools, with the percentage of minority students ranging from only 3.16% to 7.59%. This lack of diversity could impact the educational experiences and opportunities for students. Additionally, the data set is missing information on the free and reduced lunch rates for the schools, which is an important metric for understanding the socioeconomic status of the student population and potential resource needs.
