Summary

Baker High is a small public high school in Baker, California, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 35. The school is part of the Baker Valley Unified School District, which has a low 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baker High has seen relatively stable graduation and dropout rates in recent years, performing better than the district average. However, the school has experienced wide fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, ranging from 2.9% to 25%. Academically, Baker High's test scores in English, math, and science are lower than the state averages but higher than the district's, suggesting room for improvement. The school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, which is an important factor to consider when analyzing its performance.

Baker High's overall performance has been volatile, ranging from a high of 5 stars to a low of 2 stars in recent years. While the school has performed well in supporting its Hispanic and low-income student populations, the variability in funding and resources may be contributing to the challenges it faces in maintaining consistent academic achievement. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial for ensuring equitable educational outcomes for all students at Baker High.
