Summary:
The schools in Geneva County, Alabama serve students from elementary through high school, with a total of 9 schools in the district, including 3 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district's schools display a mix of performance, with some standout institutions like Slocomb Middle School consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle with lower test scores and ratings.
Slocomb Elementary School and Slocomb High School also perform well, with above-average test scores compared to the county and state. However, there is a significant gap in achievement between the highest and lowest performing schools, particularly in math. The district's high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67-84%, suggest that poverty is a significant factor impacting student outcomes.
While the district's middle schools generally outperform the high schools, the data indicates challenges in maintaining student achievement as they progress through the grade levels. The variation in spending per student, from $7,865 to $13,700, is also noteworthy and could be an area for further investigation to understand how funding levels relate to school quality and student performance across Geneva County.
