Summary:
The city of Baldwin, Florida has two public schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade - Baldwin Middle-Senior High School and Mamie Agnes Jones Elementary School. Both schools are performing below average compared to the rest of the Duval district and the state of Florida, with low rankings and 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Baldwin Middle-Senior High School serves grades 6-12 with an enrollment of 1,479 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida high schools, with a 4-year graduation rate of 89.7% and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%. Test scores at the high school are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in Algebra 1, 8th grade Science, and 7th grade Math. In contrast, Mamie Agnes Jones Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 453 students, has mixed test scores, with 5th grade Science proficiency above the district and state, but 3rd-5th grade ELA and Math proficiency below average.
Both schools in Baldwin, Florida have high chronic absenteeism rates of over 31%, which is likely contributing to their low academic performance. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with over 40% of students at the high school and over 58% at the elementary school receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the elementary school has a higher per-student spending of $10,115 compared to the high school's $7,840, the district as a whole appears to be struggling to provide quality education to its students.
