Summary

Baldwin Heights School is an elementary school in Greenville, MI, serving 449 students in grades PK-5 as part of Greenville Public Schools.

Baldwin Heights has shown remarkable, steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 56th percentile statewide in 2015-2016 to the 92nd percentile (ranked 124th of 1,492 schools) in 2025-2026—a 5-star rating. What makes this especially noteworthy is that the school achieves these results while serving a population where nearly half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. In fact, Baldwin Heights ranks in the 98th percentile statewide for academic performance among low-income students, and an extraordinary 6th out of 246 schools for special education students. The school outperforms its district averages in every subject and grade level tested, with particularly large gaps in 5th grade science (+14.3 points) and social studies (+12.2 points).

Perhaps most striking is how Baldwin Heights compares to schools in far wealthier nearby districts. Despite serving a student body with significantly higher economic need than schools in Rockford Public Schools or Lowell Area Schools, Baldwin Heights exceeds Cannonsburg Elementary School in 3rd grade math (81.3% vs. 76.1%) and nearly matches Murray Lake Elementary in 5th grade science (70.2% vs. 72.2%). Within its own district, Baldwin Heights far outranks Lincoln Heights Elementary School (ranked 503rd) and Cedar Crest Elementary School (ranked 391st). The school also maintains chronic absenteeism rates well below district and state averages, and achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than several comparison schools—evidence of effective resource allocation and strong instructional systems that benefit all learners.
