Baldwin County High School

Summary:

Baldwin County High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Bay Minette, Alabama, with a student population of 1,039 and a racial makeup of 60.15% White, 27.62% African American, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. 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.

Baldwin County High School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 251st out of 366 Alabama high schools in 2018-2019 to 61st out of 378 in 2023-2024, with a 4-star rating. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state average, but it lags behind some nearby high-performing schools, such as Daphne High School and Spanish Fort High School, which consistently rank in the top 20 and 10 in the state, respectively. The school performs well for its female, African American, and White student populations, but its performance for special education students is a concern.

Despite having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Baldwin County High School's performance for its low-socioeconomic status students is relatively strong, ranking 69th out of 375 Alabama high schools in 2023-2024. The school's performance is generally stronger than the nearby Escambia County High School, CF Vigor High School, and Chickasaw City High School, which all rank in the bottom quarter of Alabama high schools.

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.
