However, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 45.3% in 2023-2024 was slightly above the state average of 41.7%.
With nearly 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Baldwin Elementary School serves a high-poverty population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1 suggests relatively small class sizes, but this has not translated into higher academic achievement based on the test score data. While the school's performance is currently below average, the data provides an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and implement targeted strategies to support student learning and academic growth.
