Summary

The school is part of the Baldwin Community Schools district, which is ranked 536 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baldwin Senior High School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Michigan high schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient in M-Step Science and Social Studies, compared to the state averages of 34.9% and 42.1%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 55.5% to 82.8%, generally lower than the state average, and its dropout rates have been high, ranging from 7.6% to 33.3% in recent years.

In comparison, the nearby Mason County Eastern Junior High/High School and Reed City High School generally perform better academically and have higher graduation rates. The high poverty rate and chronic absenteeism at Baldwin Senior High School may be contributing factors to the school's low performance, and the school may benefit from a more targeted approach to address these underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
