Baker K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Baker K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Longfellow School and Lincoln School), 1 middle school (Baker 7-8), and 1 high school (Baker High School). The district's overall performance is below the state average, but a few schools stand out within the district.

Lincoln School, an elementary school, has a strong historical performance, ranking in the top 100 elementary schools in Montana in the mid-2000s and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Its current student-teacher ratio of 10:1 is also notably low compared to the other schools in the district. Baker High School has consistently ranked in the top half of Montana high schools over the past few years, earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, and its performance on ACT tests is relatively strong compared to the district and state averages.

However, the district as a whole faces some challenges. The schools generally perform below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, and the district has a relatively high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Additionally, Longfellow School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past few years.
