Two schools in Baker school system set to close on the last day of school

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The City of Baker School Board met Thursday evening to consider and approve the closure date of two F-rated schools.

Baker Heights Elementary and Baker Middle School are set to close after they were designated as failing schools. The school system was approached in August about the school being subjected to Recovery School District takeover.

Superintendent JT Stroder said in a letter that plans were prepared and sent as requested to make educational improvements. However, according to him, the school system got “little to no feedback from the state regarding our proposed turnaround plan.”

The Baker school board decided to close the schools in a February meeting.

The school board agreed to close Baker Heights Elementary and Baker Middle School on Friday, May 23, 2025.
