Summary

Baker Elementary in Canadian, TX, serves 153 students in grades 3 through 5 within the highly rated Canadian Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 7% of Texas. This small, focused school acts as a bridge between the district's primary school, Canadian Elementary (grades PK-2), and middle school, offering a high-resource environment with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.9:1 and per-pupil spending over $12,000—well above the state average.

Baker Elementary is on a strong upward trajectory, moving from the 70th to the 81st percentile in state rankings over the past three years. Its standout strength is in 5th grade, where students consistently outperform state averages by wide margins—for example, 88.64% were proficient in Reading in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of about 57%. This suggests the school excels at preparing students for the transition to middle school. However, the school faces a notable "4th-grade slump," with proficiency rates in Reading and Math dropping below state averages in recent years, indicating a need for targeted support during this transitional year.

The school also shows mixed results for student subgroups. It is exceptionally effective with Special Education students, ranking in the 86th percentile, and has shown strong improvement for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, English Language Learner (ELL) students remain a key area for growth, with the school ranking in the 53rd percentile for this group. While Baker Elementary benefits from ample resources and a district-wide commitment to small class sizes (shared with Canadian Elementary), the challenge is to ensure consistent excellence across all grades and student groups, particularly in 4th grade and for ELL students.
