Summary:
The City of Baker School District in Louisiana has only one high school, Baker High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Louisiana high schools over the past three school years and has a performance rating of just 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.
Baker High School's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all subjects, with proficiency rates on the LEAP/End of Course exams ranging from 32% to 54%, compared to state averages of 57% to 69%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 83.2% is also lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% is considerably higher. These factors suggest that the school is struggling to provide a quality education and support to its students.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's challenges, as Baker High School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 64.25% and a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average. The district and school leadership should consider implementing targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and help improve the outcomes for students at Baker High School.
