Summary

Geraldine School is a PK-12 school in Geraldine, Alabama, serving 1,211 students in the DeKalb County district, where about 62% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Geraldine's elementary program is a clear strength, with 3rd grade math proficiency (50%) and 5th grade English proficiency (74.3%) both exceeding state averages. However, the school faces a significant challenge in the transition to middle school. Math proficiency drops dramatically from 42.7% in 6th grade to just 11% in 7th grade—a 31-point decline that far exceeds the state average drop. This pattern continues into high school, where 11th grade English proficiency (17.3%) trails the state average (33.7%) by more than 16 points. The school's 95% graduation rate is solid, but it masks the fact that many students are graduating without achieving academic proficiency in core subjects. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved substantially, falling from 19.2% to 13.2% in just one year.

Compared to nearby schools, Geraldine sits in the middle tier. It outperforms Collinsville High School in most academic metrics, despite Collinsville spending 77% more per student. However, Plainview School (13.75 miles away) and Fyffe High School (8.84 miles away) consistently outperform Geraldine across nearly all grade levels and subjects. For example, 11th grade math proficiency at Plainview is 41.7% versus Geraldine's 18.3%, and Fyffe's 3rd grade English proficiency is 80.7% versus Geraldine's 60.3%. These neighboring schools demonstrate that stronger outcomes are achievable within the same region, making Geraldine's middle and high school performance an area that warrants attention and improvement.
