Summary

Baldwin Academy is a public elementary school serving about 520 students in grades K-5 within the Hacienda la Puente Unified school district, which is ranked average in the state, but the school itself has seen a significant drop in its statewide academic ranking over the past decade, now placing in the lower third of all California schools.

Recent data shows the school is facing some key challenges, including a high rate of chronic student absences at 25.5%, which is notably above both district and state averages, and a concerning recent decline in test scores, especially in 5th-grade math. However, the school also demonstrates a clear strength in its exceptional support for homeless students, who perform in the 98th percentile statewide. Compared to nearby schools like Edgewood Academy in Bassett Unified or Merlinda Elementary in West Covina Unified—which have similar student demographics but higher academic rankings—Baldwin Academy's overall performance has been lower, with a particularly sharp drop in the last year.

For parents, this means the school has proven effective strategies for supporting specific high-needs groups but is working to address broader academic trends and attendance issues that impact the overall student body. The presence of a top-performing charter school, San Jose Charter Academy, just over a mile away, provides a local example of high achievement that Baldwin Academy may look to for insights as it seeks to improve outcomes for all students.
