Summary:
The city of Baker, West Virginia is home to two schools - East Hardy Elementary School and East Hardy High School, both part of the Hardy County Schools district. While East Hardy High School is the standout performer, with a higher statewide ranking and better test scores, both schools face challenges in terms of academic achievement and diversity.
East Hardy High School is the stronger-performing school, ranking 92nd out of 112 West Virginia high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, East Hardy Elementary is ranked 326th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and has a 1-star rating. The high school has also shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years. However, both schools have lower-than-average math and English language arts proficiency rates compared to the county and state.
The racial makeup of the schools is predominantly White, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. This lack of diversity could be an area of concern. Additionally, the lower test scores at East Hardy Elementary, particularly in math, suggest room for improvement in the school's academic performance. The district and school leadership may need to investigate the underlying factors and implement targeted interventions to address these challenges.
