Summary

Baker Early College is a public high school in Baker City, OR, serving grades 9–12 as part of Baker School District 5J, with 534 students. It is a sustained standout: in 2025–2026 it ranked 6th of 271 Oregon high schools (98th percentile, 5 stars), and it has been ranked 1st in three of the last five reported years. Since 2014–2015, it has never fallen below the 89th percentile statewide.

Compared with nearby Baker High School, another school in the same district, Baker Early College posts much higher proficiency: 86.4% vs. 46.4% in English Language Arts, 46.5% vs. 7.7% in math, and 68.8% vs. 32.3% in science. Graduation rates are similar (93.7% vs. 92.6%), but chronic absenteeism is higher at Baker Early College (57.1% vs. 30.4%). It also spends far less per student ($3,635 vs. $28,674). Against Eagle Cap Innovative Junior/Senior High School, Baker Early College has a much higher graduation rate (93.7% vs. 43.8%) and lower chronic absenteeism (57.1% vs. 76.5%), with test comparisons unavailable. Baker Early College also beats district and state averages in ELA, math, science, and graduation, though its 57.1% chronic absenteeism rate is above the district’s 26.1% and the state’s 33.5%.

Attendance is the main question mark: chronic absenteeism fell from 93.5% in 2023–2024 to 57.1% in 2024–2025, a positive trend but still high. Spending is notably low at $3,635 per student. Subgroup results are generally strong but uneven: male students ranked 3rd of 226 and female students 32nd of 214 in 2025–2026; low-income students have historically ranked near the top. Some data gaps remain, including no recent student-teacher ratio and no reported free/reduced-lunch percentage, so families should ask how attendance and support services work.
