Baldwin Elementary

Summary:

Baldwin Elementary is a public elementary school in Manassas, Virginia, serving around 630 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Manassas City Public Schools district, which is ranked 122 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baldwin Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population (56.83%) than surrounding schools, and its academic performance, as measured by SOL test scores, is generally lower than state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 60.61%, compared to the state average of 70.11% and the district average of 45.77%. Baldwin Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 20% of the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In contrast to the lower-performing schools in the Manassas City Public Schools district, some of the nearby magnet schools, such as Loch Lomond Elementary, Signal Hill Elementary, Pennington Traditional, and Bennett Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates often exceeding 70% or even 80% in various subjects and grade levels. This highlights the potential impact of specialized educational programs and resources on student achievement, and the underlying socioeconomic and educational equity issues that may contribute to the performance gaps between Baldwin Elementary and the higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
