Summary:
The data provided focuses on a single high school, GEO Next Generation High School, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This public charter school serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 388 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by End of Course (EOC) exam proficiency rates, is consistently below the state average across multiple subject areas, suggesting the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
GEO Next Generation High School has a predominantly African American student population (88.66%), with a very low percentage of White students (0.26%). Additionally, a high percentage of students (81.7%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of the student body comes from low-income families. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1 is slightly lower than the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
Given the combination of below-average academic performance, high poverty rates, and a lack of racial diversity, GEO Next Generation High School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve overall educational outcomes. The school's challenges suggest a need for significant resources and a comprehensive approach to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
