Summary:
The Baldwyn School District in Mississippi has only one high school, Baldwyn High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 99.33% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Academically, Baldwyn High School's performance on standardized tests varies across subject areas, with the school outperforming the state average in Algebra I and Biology, but lagging behind in most other subjects, particularly English Language Arts. While the school's statewide ranking has improved in recent years, moving from 98th out of 228 Mississippi high schools in 2021-2022 to 74th out of 228 in 2023-2024, its SchoolDigger rating has remained consistent at 3 out of 5 stars. The school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it has access to significant resources, but the uneven academic performance indicates a need to examine how these resources are being utilized to support student learning.
Overall, Baldwyn High School faces challenges common to schools serving economically disadvantaged populations, but is making progress in improving its academic performance and statewide ranking. Continued efforts to address specific curricular and instructional gaps, as well as to ensure the effective allocation of resources, may be necessary to further improve educational outcomes for the students of Baldwyn School District.
