Geraldine School

Summary:

Geraldine School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Geraldine, Alabama, with a student population of 1,150 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the DeKalb County school district, which is ranked 78 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key differentiators of Geraldine School is its significantly higher percentage of Native American students (13.83%) compared to the state average (0.7%) and the surrounding schools, such as Fyffe High School (15.03%), Sylvania School (16.08%), Collinsville High School (5.76%), and Sand Rock High School (2.46%). Academically, Geraldine School outperforms the DeKalb County and Alabama state averages in mathematics proficiency for grades 3-6, but significantly underperforms in grades 7-11. The school's science proficiency is below the DeKalb County and state averages across all grade levels, while its English proficiency outperforms the district and state in grades 3-8 but underperforms in 11th grade.

Another notable aspect of Geraldine School is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.91% to 63% over the past three school years, which is higher than the surrounding schools. The school also spends $9,156 per student, which is lower than the spending at Collinsville High School ($16,213) but higher than the other nearby schools ($9,019 to $10,109). These factors suggest that Geraldine School serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed in the upper grades, and that the school may need to explore targeted interventions and support programs to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
