Baker County School District (Georgia)

The Baker County School District, also known as the Baker County School System, is a public school district in Baker County, Georgia, United States, based in Newton.

The district has one school serving pre-school to grade twelve.

Prior to court-ordered integration of the public schools, separate schools were maintained for white and black students.

In 1972, the courts found the school board had skirted integration by selling buses and other public resources including West Baker Elementary Schools to private Baker Academy at a loss.

[8] Around the late 1980s, students typically attended neighboring Mitchell County schools.
