Summary:
The 59313 zip code is home to a single public high school, Baker High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 133 students. The school is part of the Baker K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 218 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Baker High School's academic performance, as measured by ACT proficiency rates, is below the state average in all subjects, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (26.32%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the higher spending per student of $16,241, which is above the state average, the school's academic outcomes suggest that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student learning.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 49th out of 122 high schools in 2023-2024 to 91st out of 182 high schools in 2024-2025, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student-teacher ratio of 16.1 is slightly lower than the state average, but the school's small enrollment of 133 students may contribute to its performance and ranking within the district, which is in the bottom half of districts in Montana. To improve outcomes, the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community to address the unique needs of their student population.
