Summary

Baldwin Middle School is a public middle school serving 999 students in grades 6-8 in the Baldwin Union Free School District in New York. The school has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 763 out of 1407 NY middle schools in 2014-2015 to 688 out of 1500 in 2024-2025. Baldwin Middle School's performance on state assessments is generally above the state average in ELA, but more mixed in math, with 8th grade math proficiency significantly below the state average.

While the school performs well for some student subgroups, it struggles to support the academic growth of its English Language Learners, ranking in the bottom 30-50% of NY middle schools for this population. Nearby schools like Merrick Avenue Middle School, South Side Middle School, and School 9m-Oceanside Middle School generally outperform Baldwin Middle School, particularly in math and science. The school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates increasing from 36.5% to 47.6%, may also be a factor in its academic outcomes.

The district has significantly increased per-student spending at Baldwin Middle School, from $16,972 in 2020-2021 to $32,842 in 2023-2024, suggesting a strong investment in the school. However, simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive substantial academic gains. Careful analysis of how these resources are being utilized and targeted to student needs, especially for the school's most vulnerable subgroups, will be crucial for Baldwin Middle School's continued improvement and ability to better serve its diverse community.
