Geneva County High School has a higher percentage of White students (65.98%) compared to the state average, and consistently outperforms the state in 11th-grade assessments in Mathematics, Science, and English. However, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.21% to 67.22%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio (18.2 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools, which may impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.

While Geneva County High School maintains a relatively consistent performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 110 and 168 out of 367-378 Alabama high schools, it lags behind some of the nearby schools, such as Enterprise High School and Wicksburg High School, which have higher test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Geneva County High School to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools and continue to improve its educational outcomes for all students.

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.
