School Overview

Baker Middle School sits in south Tacoma, a working-class part of the city that's seen a lot of change over the years but still carries a strong sense of community pride. The school's math scores stand out compared to its other subjects, which could appeal to families looking for solid foundational skills in a neighborhood school setting. It's a good fit for families who value being connected to their local community and want a school that's close to home rather than chasing a commute across the district.
