Summary:
The 62842 zip code area has only one elementary school, Geff Elementary School, which serves students in the Geff CCSD 14 district. With 94 students, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.8, but its academic performance and overall school quality are areas of concern.
Geff Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in the following two years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, though there are some exceptions at specific grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance.
Despite the challenges, Geff Elementary School's higher per-student spending of $14,303, compared to the state average, and its low student-teacher ratio could be potential strengths that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. However, the school's low district ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that it may be facing significant obstacles in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly low-income student population, with 61.7% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
