Geronimo Elementary School

Summary:

Geronimo Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Geronimo, Oklahoma, with a student population that has become increasingly diverse in recent years. The school has consistently outperformed the state average in standardized test scores, with 70% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 56% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 46% and 37%, respectively. This strong academic performance has led to the school's ranking improving from 285 out of 646 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 47 out of 389 in 2023-2024, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Geronimo Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.25% in 2021-2022 to 68.57% in 2020-2021, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.3 in 2020-2021 to 20.3 in 2022-2023, lower than the nearby Lawton schools. This suggests that Geronimo Elementary School is providing a higher-quality education to its students, despite serving a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

While Geronimo Elementary School has seen a decline in the percentage of white students, it has become more racially diverse, with increases in the percentage of Hispanic and two or more races students. This diversity may contribute to a more inclusive and enriching learning environment for the students. The school's consistent improvement in ranking and test scores, despite serving a high proportion of students from low-income families, is a testament to the quality of education it provides, outperforming nearby schools such as Whittier Elementary School, Almor West Elementary School, and Carriage Hills Elementary School in the Lawton district.

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.
