Summary

Baldwin Elementary School in Baldwin, GA, serves approximately 422 students in grades PK-5 within the Habersham County School District, and it holds a 2-star rating with a student-teacher ratio of 11.2:1.

One of the school's standout strengths is attendance: only 8.7% of students are chronically absent, which is roughly half the state average of 17.7% and the second-lowest rate among nearby elementary schools—only Hazel Grove Elementary School does better at 4.3%. This is especially notable given that 100% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 79.3% just two years ago. In math, 3rd graders improved significantly, jumping from 35.5% to 45.6% proficiency—nearly matching the state average. However, scores decline as students advance: 4th grade math sits at 41.5% and 5th grade at 32.2%, both below state averages. Science is a relative weakness, with only 30.5% of 5th graders proficient, down from 45.3% two years ago and well below the state's 44.2%. While current English Language Arts (ELA) scores are not yet available, historical data showed a sharp drop in 4th grade ELA proficiency, though 3rd grade ELA previously exceeded state averages.

Baldwin spends more per student ($17,322) than any comparable school in the area—about $3,475 more than Demorest Elementary School, which ranks significantly higher. Despite this investment, Baldwin ranks 708th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools (42nd percentile), placing it below most Habersham County peers like Clarkesville Elementary School (62nd percentile) and Fairview Elementary School (56th percentile), though it outperforms Cornelia Elementary School (24th percentile). The encouraging trends—improving 3rd grade math, strong attendance, and declining chronic absenteeism—suggest a solid foundation, but the school will need to address upper-grade math and science gaps to lift its overall ranking.

My children have loved this school and learned so much. The staff is caring and respectful. Teachers and staff work to ensure that students are loved and supported and willing to help families in need. I'm so grateful for the Baldwin family. Close Quote

My child previously attended this school. This is an awful school to enroll your child in! If your child has to be absent.. keep records! They’ll have you in court, claiming your child was absent even on days they were present! YOU REALLY DO HAVE TO PROVE THEM WRONG AND THEY HATE IT WHEN YOU CAN AND WILL NOT APOLOGIZE! They try to make you look like a bad parent and REALLY DO PICK ON SINGLE MOTHERS! Never have I ever been treated so badly.. the principal and asst principal are very RUDE and HATEFUL! The school staff are extremely disrespectful with the exception of a “handful” of good teachers and when I say handful.. I mean like 3 or 4...and of course only one lady in the office! I would NEVER CONSIDER SENDING ANOTHER ONE OF MY CHILDREN HERE EVER AGAIN! If not for keeping records of my own.... I would have went through a ton of unnecessary things, all because of their lies and inability to keep Accurate records of my child’s attendance! They should be ashamed of themselves! To be honest, in my opinion... most need to lose their jobs! Close Quote

Baldwin Elementary is all about bullying and harassment. My son was there for less than 5 months for kindergarten and it was absolutely terrible!! I was accused of not taking care of my son and had the guidance counselor and some other lady banging on my door.. nothing to do about how to get my son home, but how I am an awful parent.. I am a single mother, I work 3rd shift to support my son. I don't live off the government or have the luxury to be a stay at home mom.
So, make sure that you are a perfect parent, that is married before sending your child there. Close Quote
