Both of my boys have gone to school here. I love the staff and teachers. They all seem to love to teach and help our children. The school has a very upbeat atmosphere and is always doing stuff to make learning enjoyable.

As a mother of four and a former student I have found Baker to be a warm, creative, nurturing school. I think the secretaries and teachers are great. The school keeps me well informed as do the teachers. Parent volunteering is always appreciated. They always seem to know who you are and exactly whose parent you are. I have nothing but respect and gratitude towards the Staff at baker for the wonderful start they gave my children and myself. My only problem was that in kindergarten and young fives they go all day every day or every other day, and I had thought it would be a better transisition if they went half day every other day in young fives and every day half day kindergarten and then made the change to all day in 1st grade.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
