Summary

Baldwin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Baldwin, Georgia, with 418 students enrolled. It is part of the Habersham County School District, which is ranked 45 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,562 to $11,940, Baldwin Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Habersham County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across grades 3-5 in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 38.1% of 3rd graders at Baldwin were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 36.2% in Habersham County and 34.9% statewide. Additionally, Baldwin Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing between 626-944 out of over 1,200 Georgia elementary schools from 2015-2025, and has consistently been rated 1-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

The school's high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 79.31% to 88.28% over the past few years, suggest a student population with greater economic disadvantages compared to the surrounding Habersham County schools, such as Clarkesville Elementary, Hazel Grove Elementary, Fairview Elementary, and Demorest Elementary, which generally outperform Baldwin Elementary on the Milestones Assessments.

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
