Summary

Baldwin Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Paragould, Arkansas, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 211 students. The school is part of the Paragould School District, which is ranked 127 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 14 to 14.9 students per teacher, Baldwin Elementary School consistently underperforms the Paragould School District and the state of Arkansas in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 30.2% of Baldwin students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.7% statewide. In mathematics, Baldwin's proficiency rate was 41%, while the state average was 38.7%. The school's science proficiency rates were also lower than the district and state averages.

The high poverty rate at Baldwin Elementary, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Oak Grove Elementary (100%), Woodrow Wilson Elementary (100%), and Paragould Primary (100%), which also have high free and reduced lunch rates. Despite the smaller class sizes, Baldwin Elementary still underperforms compared to its peers, suggesting that targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to address the unique challenges faced by the school.
