Baldwin Park High

Summary:

Baldwin Park High is a public high school located in Baldwin Park, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,414 students. The school is part of the Baldwin Park Unified School District, which is ranked 966 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baldwin Park High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 388 out of 1,290 high schools in 2020-2021 to 920 out of 2,323 high schools in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has remained at 3 stars out of 5 for most years, except for 2022-2023 when it was rated 4 stars. Compared to nearby schools like Sierra Vista High and Bassett Senior High, Baldwin Park High's statewide ranking and rating are generally in the middle range. However, the school has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, from 95.2% in 2018-2019 to 89.5% in 2022-2023, and an increase in its dropout rate from 1.8% to 8.5% during the same period, which is worse than nearby schools like Edgewood High.

Another area of concern is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism at Baldwin Park High, from 6.2% in 2018-2019 to 18.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the chronic absenteeism rates of nearby schools. Additionally, the school's academic performance in Smarter Balanced Assessments for Mathematics and CAST Science assessments has been consistently lower than the district and state averages, suggesting a need for targeted academic support and intervention in these subject areas. Compared to higher-performing schools like Sierra Vista High and Bassett Senior High, Baldwin Park High has room for improvement in various metrics, and the school should look to learn from the best practices of its counterparts.

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.
