Home of the Grizzly Cubs
Custer Baker Intermediate School serves more than 725 students from Grades 5-6. The only intermediate school in the Franklin Community Schools system, we offer a broad and comprehensive understanding of knowledge and skills based on the Indiana Academic State Standards. These standards provide the master plan for learning.
Courses are required by the Indiana State Board of Education and necessary for the intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth of students.
The school is named after the late Custer Baker, who was a school superintendent in the county for 31 years. He graduated from Union High School (which later consolidated with Franklin Community Schools), Franklin College and Butler University.

Welcome to the Custer Baker Intermediate School! Custer Baker is the home of nearly 750 Cubs comprising the 5th and 6th grades!
The Custer Baker Cubs are actively engaged in learning. We are continuing to grow our brains and our hearts through incredible instruction, creative learning activities, and by thinking of others and giving back to our community.
We work daily on developing character traits to set our Cubs up for success in the future. We have had fun this year by doing our 2nd annual Color Run, a DRIVE-THRU Veterans’ Parade, and by embarking on the journey of Conceptual Learning, where Cubs help each other learn to think and problem solve.
We have added Career Exploration, Health and Wellness, and Keyboarding to the already varied docket of experiences for our Cubs. Many students participate in extracurricular activities such as clubs and sports.
Joey, our therapy dog, helps us celebrate, de-escalate and just makes our school a better place!
