Martha Baldwin School - Distinguished, Title I Achieving, and Blue Ribbon
Twelve years ago, standardized test results at Martha Baldwin School had reached a plateau and scores were declining. Today Baldwin is a California Distinguished School, a National Blue Ribbon School, and has been identified by the California Department of Education as a Title I Achieving School every year since 2002. Baldwin has far surpassed its growth target every year on California's Academic Performance Index (API) since 1999. The reasons for this impressive turnaround? Strong leadership, an intense focus on data, and increased time for professional development.
