Summary:
The Baker school district in Florida is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, MacClenny Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 543 out of 2,258 Florida elementary schools.
MacClenny Elementary boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, as well as the highest 5th grade science proficiency rate in the district. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.9, suggesting more individualized attention for students. While the other Baker elementary schools, including Legacy Elementary and Westside Elementary, have lower statewide rankings and test scores, Westside Elementary performs better than Legacy across most metrics.
However, the Baker elementary schools face several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 31.4% across the district, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free or reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 55.85% at MacClenny to 63.27% at Legacy. These factors may contribute to the achievement gaps observed between the district's schools and the state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address these disparities.
