Summary

Ernest R. Geddes Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 662 students in the Baldwin Park Unified School District, which serves a high-need community and ranks in the lower half of districts statewide.

Academically, the school performs below state averages, with about one-third of students proficient in English and one-quarter in math, placing it in the 29th percentile statewide. It faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, at 21.4%, and its performance is generally lower than most other elementary schools within Baldwin Park Unified, such as Kenmore Elementary, which scores significantly higher. Performance varies by grade, with scores often dropping in upper grades, and the school spends more per student ($27,172) than some higher-achieving neighbors.

Interesting comparisons show that nearby schools in other districts, like Merwin Elementary in Covina-Valley Unified and Monte Vista Elementary in West Covina Unified, achieve stronger academic results with similar student populations. The stark contrast with the high-performing San Jose Charter Academy nearby suggests educational models and resource effectiveness may be key factors, indicating potential pathways for improvement at Geddes.
