Academically, Mt.

In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 55% of students proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%, and 46.67% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 35.54%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 26.0% in the 2022-2023 school year was higher than the state average, and 38.71% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Mt. Baldy Joint Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and continues to provide a quality education to its small student body of 93 children. The school's strengths in academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Science, suggest that it is a moderately performing institution that could benefit from further support in addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
