Summary

Baldwin Elementary in Austin, TX, is a high-performing school serving 582 students in grades PK through 5 within the Austin Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools (95th percentile) and earning a 5-star rating for six consecutive years.

Baldwin stands out for its exceptional mathematics performance, with proficiency scores in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades significantly exceeding district and state averages. It is part of a remarkable cluster of elite schools in Southwest Austin, including Mills Elementary (99th percentile), Bear Creek Elementary (97th percentile), Clayton Elementary (97th percentile), and Kiker Elementary (95th percentile), creating a highly competitive educational landscape. While Baldwin’s math scores are strong, they are slightly lower than Mills and Bear Creek, and its 5th-grade science proficiency (55.1%) lags behind Clayton (67%) and Mills (67.62%), though it remains well above state averages. The school also demonstrates strong performance across diverse student groups, ranking in the 97th percentile for female students and 92nd percentile for male students.

Notably, Baldwin achieves top-tier results with a per-student spending of $9,809, which is below the district average, suggesting efficient resource use. However, a key area for improvement is supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, where the school ranks in the 61st percentile—a significant gap compared to its overall excellence. This highlights an opportunity to ensure that the school’s high performance is universal across all student populations.
