Summary

Baldwin County High School in Bay Minette, AL, is a public high school serving 940 students in grades 9-12 within the Baldwin County district, a school that has recently experienced a significant shift in its academic standing.

After reaching a 4-star rating and ranking 61st in the state in 2023-2024, the school saw a dramatic decline, falling to 226th (a 2-star rating) in the most recent school year. This drop is visible across all core subjects, with math proficiency falling from 28.63% to 15.87% and science proficiency dropping from 39.91% to 24.34% in just two years. This decline is particularly striking when compared to nearby schools like Daphne High School and Spanish Fort High School, which both maintained 5-star ratings during the same period. The school also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism (20.6% of students) and a graduation rate (86.5%) that trails both the district and state averages. While the school serves a population where 55.85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, it's worth noting that schools with similar economic profiles, such as Saraland High School (42.42% free/reduced lunch), continue to perform significantly better, suggesting factors beyond just poverty are at play.

There are some encouraging signs. English proficiency, while also declining, remains the school's strongest subject at 30.77% proficiency. The school also spends more per student ($10,287) than some higher-performing neighbors like Daphne High School ($9,220), indicating that resources alone aren't the issue. The school's history shows it has achieved strong performance before, ranking in the 84th percentile as recently as 2023-2024. For parents, this means the school has demonstrated it can succeed, but the recent decline across all student groups suggests systemic issues—likely tied to the high absenteeism rate—need to be addressed to return to that level of performance.
