Summary

Baldy View Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 624 students in the Upland Unified district, operating in a high-need environment where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the 44th percentile statewide with proficiency rates in English (39%) and math (36%) below the district average; its science proficiency of 15% is the lowest among Upland elementary schools and a critical concern. While chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from pandemic highs, its current rate of 19.3% remains above the district average. Interestingly, the school shows notable strengths in supporting some student groups, and its mid-tier performance among high-poverty schools like Citrus Elementary and Cabrillo Elementary suggests it may have effective strategies for economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Pepper Tree Elementary (89th percentile) and Magnolia Elementary (86th percentile), Baldy View's academic results are lower despite similar resources, indicating room for improvement in program effectiveness. The school's year-to-year ranking has been volatile, and its per-student spending is mid-range for the district. Its proximity to both higher- and lower-performing schools creates opportunities for collaboration and benchmarking to address its core challenges in science and consistent academic achievement.
