Central Baldwin Middle School

Summary:

Central Baldwin Middle School is a public middle school located in Robertsdale, Alabama, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 757 students. The school is part of the Baldwin County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 137 districts in Alabama and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central Baldwin Middle School has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (16.38%) and multi-racial (9.11%) students. While the school's test scores are generally lower than the Baldwin County and Alabama averages, it has some areas of strength, such as 51.46% of 7th-grade students and 50.55% of 8th-grade students being proficient or better in English, which is close to or above the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 100 out of 440 Alabama middle schools in 2020-2021 to 167 out of 442 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in the state.

Compared to nearby middle schools in the Baldwin County district, such as Elberta Middle School and Spanish Fort Middle School, Central Baldwin Middle School generally lags behind in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.93% to 73.84% over the past three school years, which may indicate a need for additional funding and resources to support these students and address any achievement gaps.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
