Summary:
The elementary schools in Baldwin County, Georgia, face significant challenges, with four schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. The data reveals consistent low performance across the district, with all schools scoring below state averages on standardized tests and ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools.
Lakeview Primary stands out as the largest school with 835 students and the highest spending per student at $9,650, but it also has the highest student-teacher ratio of 18.8. In contrast, Midway Hills Primary has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.4, indicating smaller class sizes, and the second-highest spending per student at $10,110.
Across all four schools, the free and reduced-price lunch rates are extremely high, ranging from 89.22% to 89.38%, suggesting that the student population in Baldwin County faces significant socioeconomic challenges. This factor likely contributes to the overall low performance, as evidenced by the schools' consistently low test scores and statewide rankings. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to improve the quality of education and support for students in the district.
