Best Public Schools in Baldwin Park, CA

Summary:

The city of Baldwin Park, California is home to 17 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Baldwin Park Unified School District. The district is ranked 966 out of 1,568 districts in California and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While some schools in the district, like Central Elementary and Walnut Elementary, are performing relatively well, others are struggling, with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.

The data reveals significant disparities in school performance across the district. Sierra Vista High stands out with a 96.7% four-year graduation rate and 1.8% dropout rate, while North Park Continuation High has an 85.8% four-year graduation rate and a 12.3% dropout rate. Similarly, BP STEM Academy has strong performance in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, while many elementary schools in the district are underperforming.

The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.19% to 96.85% across the schools, suggest that the district faces significant challenges in serving its high-poverty student population. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 18.7% at Baldwin Park High to 65.6% at North Park Continuation High, will be crucial for improving student outcomes across the district.
