Geronimo Elementary School

Summary:

Geronimo Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Geronimo, Oklahoma, with 180 students. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outpacing the state average on standardized tests. In 2023-2024, 70% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 56% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 46% and 37% respectively.

Geronimo Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from #565 out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2014-2015 to #47 out of 389 in 2023-2024. This upward trajectory indicates the school is making positive changes and investments to support student learning. Additionally, Geronimo Elementary outperforms many of the nearby schools in the Lawton School District, which are generally lower-performing. For example, Geronimo's 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 70% is significantly higher than the 45% rate at Carriage Hills Elementary and the 40% rate at Eisenhower Elementary, both in Lawton.

However, it's important to note that Geronimo Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 73.33% in 2023-2024. This suggests the school serves a predominantly lower-income student population, which is an important contextual factor to consider. Despite this, the school's ability to outperform the state average and nearby schools on standardized tests is a testament to the efforts of the school community.

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.
