Summary

Baker High School is a large public high school in Mobile, AL, serving 2,271 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Mobile County school district. The school consistently ranks in the top quarter of Alabama high schools, currently placing 82nd out of 380 schools statewide (78th percentile), and significantly outperforms both district and state averages in math, science, and English proficiency.

Baker stands out for its exceptional results with specific student groups. The school ranks 9th out of 89 schools statewide for English Language Learner performance (90th percentile) and 32nd out of 234 schools for African American student achievement (86th percentile)—both well above what most comparable schools achieve. The school also demonstrates strong effectiveness with homeless students, ranking 4th out of 15 schools. Science is a particular strength, with 41.97% of students proficient, exceeding the state average by nearly 6 percentage points. The graduation rate of 93.3% surpasses both the district (85.9%) and state (91.5%) averages. Compared to nearby schools, Baker outperforms most, including Murphy High School (171st), Theodore High School (208th), and Mattie T Blount High School (305th). Only WP Davidson High School (42nd) ranks higher, though Baker boasts a notably higher graduation rate (93.3% vs. 81.8%).

Baker has shown remarkable momentum, with test scores jumping dramatically from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026—math proficiency rose from 22.95% to 34.74%, science from 30.7% to 41.97%, and English from 26.62% to 36.79%. The school also operates efficiently, spending $8,018 per student, less than most nearby schools while achieving better outcomes. However, chronic absenteeism (17.5%) remains higher than the state average (12.0%), and performance with Special Education students (47th percentile) and Military Connected students (25th percentile) are areas needing attention. Despite these challenges, Baker's strong academic results, high graduation rate, and exceptional support for diverse learners make it a standout choice within the Mobile area.
