Summary:
The Mount Baker School District in Deming, Washington, is served by a single high school, Mount Baker Senior High, which educates approximately 513 students in grades 9-12.
This school presents a mixed academic profile with a notable strength in English Language Arts, where student proficiency significantly exceeds both district and state averages. However, it faces a serious challenge in mathematics, with proficiency rates far below state benchmarks, creating a wide gap between subjects. Furthermore, the school's graduation rate is below the state average, and its student dropout rate is considerably higher, indicating a critical area for improvement in student support and retention.
Despite these challenges, Mount Baker Senior High outperforms its own district averages in several subjects and operates with per-student spending above the typical level. Parents should note the school's state ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting ongoing systemic efforts are needed to address the math curriculum and support students at risk of not graduating.
