Baldwin Academy

Summary:

Baldwin Academy is a public elementary school serving 604 students in grades K-6 in La Puente, California. It is part of the Hacienda la Puente Unified School District, which is ranked 782 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Baldwin Academy is part of the same school district as nearby Fairgrove Academy, California Elementary, and Valinda School of Academics, its performance lags behind these schools across various metrics. Baldwin Academy has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.5% in 2018-2019 to 51.0% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 41.9% of Baldwin students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 33.64% proficient or better in math.

The challenges facing Baldwin Academy may be related to its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 76.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, as well as its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 26.2 in 2022-2023. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance over the years, suggest that addressing issues such as chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and the needs of specific student subgroups may be crucial for improving educational outcomes at Baldwin Academy.

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.
