Baldwyn Elementary School

Q: Is Baldwyn Elementary School a good school?

Baldwyn Elementary School ranks 272 nd of 390 Mississippi elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Baldwyn Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 308 students in grades K-4 in the Tupelo Public School District in Baldwyn, Mississippi. The school's student population is predominantly White (51.62%) and African American (40.58%), with a high percentage of students (99.03%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage.

Baldwyn Elementary School's academic performance is a significant concern, with test scores that are substantially lower than the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.5% of 3rd graders and 50.9% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 57.7% and 57.1%, respectively. In Mathematics, only 13.6% of 3rd graders and 63.6% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 53.3% and 55%. The school's ranking among Mississippi elementary schools has also declined over the years, from 123rd out of 397 in 2018-2019 to 272nd out of 390 in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by School Digger, which is below average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Mooreville Elementary School, which is 16.3 miles away, Baldwyn Elementary School's performance is significantly lower. Mooreville Elementary School had much higher test scores in both ELA and Mathematics, with 65.8% of 3rd graders and 69.8% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, and 75.9% of 3rd graders and 80.2% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics. The high poverty rates at Baldwyn Elementary School are likely a significant factor contributing to its lower academic performance, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
