Summary:
Baker School District 5J in Oregon has three high schools serving about 1,089 students: Baker Early College (grades 9–12, 534 students), Baker High School (grades 9–12, 478 students), and Eagle Cap Innovative Junior/Senior High School (grades 7–12, 77 students). The district overall ranks 43rd of 141 Oregon districts — the 70th percentile with 4 stars — but that single rating conceals large differences among its schools.
Baker Early College is the academic standout, ranking 6th of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026 (98th percentile, 5 stars) after placing 3rd and 1st in the two prior years. Its proficiency rates far exceed district and state levels: 86.4 in English language arts, 46.5 in math, and 68.8 in science, and its graduation rate is 93.7%. Unusually, its chronic absenteeism is also high at 57.1%, versus 26.1% district and 33.5% state. Baker High School graduates 92.6% of students but posts very uneven test results: ELA 46.4, just above the state's 43.8, and math only 7.7% — far below the district's 28.4% and state's 32.9%. It ranks 166th of 271 (39th percentile, 2 stars) and spends $28,674 per student, nearly eight times Baker Early College's $3,635.
Eagle Cap Innovative Junior/Senior High School faces the biggest challenges: a 43.8% graduation rate against the district's 77.1% and state's 83.0%, chronic absenteeism of 76.5%, and the highest student-teacher ratio reported at 24.0. No current test scores or current rank are available for it. Free/reduced-lunch rates are high where reported — 83.89% at Baker High and 80.52% at Eagle Cap — while Baker Early College reports none. Missing figures mean unavailable, not zero.
