Zachary - best schools in the state
Baker - worst schools in the state

Yeah, just because it is close does not mean it is anything like Baker. You can say that about any area in BR that has a low income area 5 miles down the road.

I don't see an Americana subdivision being developed in Baker, 2 brand new schools, new golf courses (2 in the last 5 years), remodeling of all the other schools, 2 brand new Medical centers. Looks like Baker to me! I think the only new thing in Baker is a Walgreens and a remodeled Popeyes. Yeah, we have a few low income streets, but I don't feel I have to lock my car door when I drive through.

If he is referring to the race ratios, Zachary has always had a large black population. The schools are something like 60/40.

Baker has truly idiotic people running the city. The mayor is one of the few decent people in Baker and he gets regularly chastised for things like, *gasp*, cutting off water when people don't pay their bill.

Zachary will be ok for a long time.
