Summary

Baker Elementary School in Acworth, GA, serves 738 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Cobb County School District, and currently holds a 3-star rating with a statewide rank of 386th out of 1,219 elementary schools—a solid improvement from last year's 486th place ranking.

One of Baker's standout strengths is attendance. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 8.5%, which is nearly half the district rate of 14.2% and well below the state average of 17.7%. This is a consistent bright spot—Baker has cut its absenteeism rate by more than half since 2021-2022, and it outperforms most nearby schools in this area. Only Oak Grove Elementary School (7.9%) has a lower rate, while peers like McCall Primary School (15.1%) and Kennesaw Elementary School (15.2%) have rates nearly double Baker's. Academically, Baker also leads its local Cobb County neighbors—including Lewis Elementary School, Acworth Elementary School, and Chalker Elementary School—despite having a similar percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school also excels in 5th grade science, with proficiency rates above both district and state averages, and its 3rd grade math scores (63.9%) far exceed the state average (48.3%).

There are a couple of areas worth noting. Baker shows a significant grade-level transition challenge in math: 3rd grade proficiency is strong, but 4th grade math drops to 38.8%—well below the district average of 56.7%—before rebounding strongly in 5th grade (56.2%). This pattern may reflect a cohort-specific issue that the school successfully addresses by 5th grade. Additionally, while Baker performs exceptionally well for its African American students (ranking in the 84th percentile statewide), its performance with other student groups is more moderate. The school has also increased per-student spending to $18,468 and improved its student-teacher ratio to 11:1, reflecting ongoing investment in student success.

This school unfortunately is going down hill due to poor administrative staff. Principal is more concerned about appearances than people. Bullying is rampant and often dismissed by administration and therefore teachers because they do not get support. Close Quote
