Summary

Baker High School is a public high school in Baker City, Oregon, serving 492 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Baker School District 5J, which is ranked 24 out of 140 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Baker High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, its current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 121st out of 270 Oregon high schools, with a 3-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is a key area of concern, with only 27.6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 16.7% proficient in mathematics. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 42.1% is higher than the state average. Baker High School has also struggled with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.9% to 61.8% over the past few years.

Interestingly, nearby Baker Early College, a public charter high school within the same district, consistently outperforms Baker High School on academic measures, with proficiency rates in the 80-90% range for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. This suggests that the educational model and resources available at Baker Early College may be more effective in supporting student achievement. To address these challenges, Baker High School and the Baker School District 5J should consider implementing targeted interventions, addressing chronic absenteeism, and exploring ways to align funding and support more closely with the specific needs of the student population.
