GEO Prep Academy of Greater Baton Rouge

Summary:

GEO Prep Academy of Greater Baton Rouge is a public charter elementary school serving 771 students in grades K-8 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish district.

GEO Prep Academy stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outpacing state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grade levels. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (89.23%) compared to nearby public schools, and its African American and Special Education students perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top elementary schools in Louisiana. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.14% to 82.36% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, GEO Prep Academy's educational model and practices appear to be effectively addressing these challenges.

While GEO Prep Academy outperforms the state and district, it is interesting to note that some nearby public schools, such as BASIS Baton Rouge Primary Mid City and Greenbrier Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Additionally, GEO Prep Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.7 to 19.2, which is lower than many of the surrounding public schools.

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.
