Summary:
The Baker School District 5J in Oregon is home to three high schools: Baker High School, Baker Early College, and Eagle Cap Innovative Junior/Senior High School. While the district faces some challenges, one school stands out as a shining example of academic excellence.
Baker Early College has consistently ranked as the top-performing high school in Oregon, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With exceptional academic results, including over 90% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, this school is a standout in the district. In contrast, Baker High School has struggled academically, with only 20-28% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 11.8-23.1% in Mathematics.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics and resource allocation within the district. Baker High School and Eagle Cap Innovative Junior/Senior High School serve a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their free and reduced-price lunch rates. However, Baker High School has the highest per-student spending, while Baker Early College has the lowest, suggesting that resource allocation alone does not guarantee academic success.
