Baker Middle School

This school has some awesome teachers in the English, Science and Humanities dept, but their math department is terrible . Most teachers are great, but there are some others that are rude and dont care what you think. Practically Every parent at this school has had to tutor their child in math or pay for a private tutor in Math. The administration does not care to support a good relationship between themselves, parents and teachers. Many parents that transferred their child here for the IB program have transferred them back to their school of choice because the IB program is really no different than the regular curriculum at the Troy schools anyway.

Baker is an AWESOME school. The teachers are helpful and easy to talk to and the peers are fun to be around, and accepting of everyone. Baker is the best!!

So far so good for my 6th grader. They have been very helpful and understanding with my childs needs. Upon looking over the meap scores from past to present, it appears that some scoring has gone down since the IBO was inplemented into these schools. Not sure if that was a good idea after all.

I loved this school a lot! Since I had to move... I really miss the school. The teachers were great and peers were fun to hang out with. I really miss you guys!

Both of my children attended Baker Middle School. My first child has now graduated from Athens High and moved on to U of M. I feel Baker did a great job preparing her for high school. She made the transition to H.S. with ease. She was more than prepared for college, in fact, her first semester was a little too easy knowing most of the material from high school. I feel because Baker is smaller than the rest of the Troy middle schools, my children did not get lost in crowd. Each of them were personally known by most of the teachers, the principal and assistant principal. Their smaller size did not preclude them from having a vast assortment of extracurricular activities and class subjects.

i went to this school as class of 07 and when i was there the teachers were great and everything but only problem is the kids in this middle school has the lowest quailty of the kids in whole troy that was the reason i choose troy high from athens i wanted to get to know more of the outside and when i look at it i see that troy has better kids than athens most kids in troy wants to actually work until some i saw in baker that didnt even care what grade they get. i recommand that if your kids have choice from chosin troy high from athens troy to get them to go to troy to hang them around with the kids that wants to work which will make them feel behide and will make work trust me i was the same.
