Gussie M. Baker Elementary School

I’d rate this school approximately 5/10. They are meeting basic requirements for education but do not consider socials and emotional development as an important part of the learning process.

We have left the school. We stayed two years, and were not impressed. Some of the teachers were quite apathetic, and I was quite disappointed with their lack of care and kindness. My child was burnt out on learning by the end of kindergarten due to their ridiculously long homework packets and drill and kill approach to teaching reading. The extended care program was the highlight for us.

Really great school environment-- supportive, fun, strong academics, creative and spirited teachers. My child loves her school, her teacher, and as a family we feel well connected to the school community.

Baker is a great school. Teachers are very friendly and caring. The students are polite and respectful. I have 2 kids currently attending Baker. They loved the school. I like their afterschool child care center at the school that help kids with their homework. It's a great place for student to hang out with friends afterschool and do homework together and have fun at the same time. When i pick them up at 6pm, their hw is done. It's very convenient for working parents.
