Summary

Henry Perrine Baldwin High School is a public high school in Wailuku, Hawaii, serving grades 9–12 with 1,266 students as part of the Hawaii Department of Education, making it the second-largest campus among its nearby Maui comparison schools, behind Maui High School (1,725 students) and just ahead of King Kekaulike High School (1,217).

Baldwin's results have swung noticeably from year to year. It reached the 70th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024, fell to the 40th percentile with 2 stars in 2024–2025, and recovered to the 48th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026. In the latest year, 43% of students were proficient in English language arts, 17% in mathematics, and 36% in Biology I — middle of the local pack. Mathematics is the weakest subject in absolute terms, though Baldwin still outpaces Lahainaluna High School (9%) and Kulanihakoi High School (13%). ELA proficiency has fallen over two years, from 58.42% to 43%. Nearby, Maui High (69th percentile) and King Kekaulike (65th) generally post stronger test results.

The clearest relative weakness is graduation: Baldwin's 79.0% rate trails Maui High, King Kekaulike, and Lahainaluna, even though its chronic absenteeism of 32.0% is lower than three of the four nearby schools. Baldwin also has the highest student-teacher ratio in the group at 17.5, versus 14.8 at Maui High and 11.5 at Kulanihakoi. There are encouraging signs: absenteeism improved from 34.1% to 32.0%, graduation rose from 77.4% to 79.0%, and Biology rebounded from 24% to 36%. Students from low-income families ranked at or slightly above the school's overall percentile, while English language learners ranked below it.
