Baker High

Public Grades 9-12
Summary

Baker High serves 31 students in grades 9–12 in Baker, California, and there are no other schools within 20 miles. Its clearest concern is the sharp fall in test proficiency: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, ELA dropped from 69% to 27%, math from 38% to 18%, and science from 23% to 18%. By 2024–2025, results were below state averages in all three subjects.

Compared with Baker Valley Unified, the school performed better in every tested subject in 2024–2025: by 14 points in ELA, 9 in math, and 2 in science. Compared with California, however, it was behind by 22 points in ELA, 19 in math, and 14 in science. ELA is its strongest subject relative to the district, while science had the smallest gap with the state. Graduation is a bright spot: the 2025–2026 rate was 92%, versus 88% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was higher, at 27%, compared with 18% statewide and 17% districtwide. There are no nearby schools for comparison, and 2025–2026 school test scores are suppressed, so the latest available test results are from 2024–2025.

SchoolDigger’s overall rating fell from the 74th percentile and 4 stars in 2022–2023 to the 31st percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025, a drop of 43 percentile points. The student–teacher ratio also declined, from 9.8 to 7 students per teacher, but the lower ratio coincided with below-state test results; this does not show that one caused the other. The school’s reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure rose from 40% in 2022–2023 to 55% in 2024–2025, an increase of 15 percentage points. These figures provide context, but there are no comparable nearby-school measures.
