Summary

Central Baldwin Middle School in Robertsdale, AL, serves 768 students in grades 7 and 8 as part of the highly rated Baldwin County school district. The school has earned a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking 135th out of 443 middle schools statewide—a steady climb from 167th just two years prior.

Academically, Central Baldwin performs at or slightly above state averages in most subjects, with a notable strength in 8th-grade science, where 62.61% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.12%. However, math and English proficiency rates (roughly 25-31% in math and 57-60% in English) trail significantly behind nearby schools like Fairhope Middle School and Spanish Fort Middle School, where math proficiency often exceeds 55% and English proficiency approaches 80%. The school does outperform Foley Middle School, a comparable school with similar demographics, ranking 135th versus Foley's 209th and posting higher proficiency in both math and English.

One of the school's most pressing challenges is chronic absenteeism. At 16.0%, the rate is nearly double that of Daphne Middle School (8.0%) and Spanish Fort Middle School (6.4%), though it has improved dramatically from 26.0% two years ago. The school also serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch (50.91%) compared to more affluent neighboring schools. Encouragingly, Central Baldwin has shown broad-based improvement across student subgroups, including a standout ranking of 30th out of 103 schools for English Language Learner students. With its upward trajectory and relative strength in science, the school appears to be building momentum, though closing the achievement gap with top-tier area schools remains an ongoing goal.
