Summary:

Geneva County is a rural Alabama school district serving approximately 2,814 students across nine schools—three elementary (PK-5), three middle (6-8), and three high (9-12)—in the communities of Slocomb, Hartford, and Samson, with an overall 4-star rating that places it in the 71st percentile statewide.

If you’re looking for the district’s strongest academic cluster, the Slocomb schools are the clear standout. Slocomb Middle School is the flagship, ranking in the 87th percentile among Alabama middle schools with 8th grade science proficiency at 73.2% (state: 54.1%) and 6th grade math at 63.75% (state: 35.2%). Slocomb Elementary School and Slocomb High School also perform well, with the high school jumping from 142nd to 62nd in the state and posting a 95.3% graduation rate. Geneva County Elementary School is the district’s most improved, rising from 174th to 87th in state rankings, with 5th grade English proficiency at 85.45%. Meanwhile, the Samson schools face the biggest challenges. Samson Elementary School has dropped to the 35th percentile, with 5th grade math proficiency at just 19.15%—a 46.7-point gap compared to Slocomb Elementary’s 65.88%. Samson Middle School also lags, with the district’s highest student-teacher ratio (19.5:1) and 8th grade science at 36.21% versus the district average of 62.73%.

District-wide, elementary grades are a clear strength, running 10–14 points above state averages in math and English, but that advantage fades by 11th grade, where the district falls 5.6 points below the state in English. Science is a consistent bright spot at every level, and chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 5.5% (state: 12.0%), with Slocomb High School at just 1.9%. One notable paradox: Geneva County High School spends the most per student ($13,700) yet ranks 216th, while Slocomb Middle School spends the least ($7,865) and achieves the best results. If you’re choosing between communities, Slocomb offers the most consistent performance, while Samson schools—despite high poverty rates—still show pockets of strength in English, suggesting targeted support in math and secondary transition could yield significant gains.
