GEO Next Generation High School

GEO Next Generation High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a total enrollment of 388 students. The school has a predominantly African American student population (88.66%) and a high percentage of students (81.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population.

Academically, GEO Next Generation High School faces significant challenges, with test scores consistently lower than the state averages across multiple subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 48% in Algebra I, 39% in Geometry, and 62% in English II, compared to the state's 62%, 58%, and 66% respectively. The school's relatively low ranking of 239 out of 333 Louisiana high schools and a 1 out of 5-star rating by SchoolDigger suggest that it is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state.

These findings indicate that GEO Next Generation High School may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve academic outcomes and ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
