Summary

Martha Baldwin Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-8 public school serving 923 students in the Alhambra Unified School District, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for the 2024-2025 year.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, significantly outperforming both district and state averages in English, math, and science, and it is particularly effective in supporting students from low-income families and English learners. Interestingly, it achieves this excellence while operating with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than many nearby schools like Granada Elementary and William Northrup Elementary, suggesting highly efficient and effective teaching practices. Furthermore, the school fosters an exceptional culture of attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate less than half the state average and much lower than neighboring schools.

Martha Baldwin has maintained a stable 4-star rating for over a decade, demonstrating resilience even during challenging times. While performance is strong across grades, it shows particular strengths in middle school English and 8th-grade science. The school's success is notable when compared to schools in other districts, such as Duff Language Magnet Academy in the Garvey Elementary district, which spends significantly more per student. This consistent record of cost-effective excellence makes Martha Baldwin a standout choice for families in the area.
