GEO Prep Mid-City of Greater Baton Rouge

Summary:

GEO Prep Mid-City of Greater Baton Rouge is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 666 students in grades K-8 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district.

GEO Prep Mid-City has an overwhelmingly African American student population, with over 97% of students identifying as African American. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with strong results in English language arts but lower proficiency in mathematics compared to the state average. While the school ranks highly for its African American students, it struggles to support students with special education needs and those from low-income backgrounds. Nearby Belfair Montessori School stands out for its more racially diverse student population and consistently stronger academic performance across subject areas.

Over time, GEO Prep Mid-City's performance has improved, with the school's statewide ranking increasing from 604 out of 731 Louisiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 322 out of 675 in 2023-2024. However, the school's overall rating has remained at 3 stars or below, indicating that there is still room for growth. One bright spot is the school's strong performance in Algebra I and English I end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages in these subjects.

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.
