Summary

Julia Baldwin Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 425 students in San Jose's Oak Grove Elementary district, representing a solid, middle-performing option with particular strengths in math and a diverse student community.

Academically, the school performs near the state average in English but consistently outperforms it in mathematics, which is a notable strength. The school has shown impressive recent progress in reducing chronic student absences, now boasting a better attendance rate than both the district and state averages. Historically, it has also been very effective in supporting English Language Learners. However, performance can vary significantly between different grade levels, with 6th grade being a particular highlight while 3rd-grade math scores are an area for growth. The school spends more per student than many of its district peers, like Santa Teresa Elementary and Taylor (Bertha) Elementary.

When compared to nearby schools, Baldwin occupies a middle ground. It outperforms some schools with higher needs, such as Anderson (Alex) Elementary within its own district, but trails behind others with similar student demographics like Ledesma (Rita) Elementary. A look at a higher-performing school in a different district, like Graystone Elementary in the San Jose Unified district, highlights how differences in resources and community factors can lead to different outcomes. Overall, Baldwin is a stable school showing it can make strong improvements, as seen with attendance, and has the potential to rise further.
