GEO Next Generation High School

Summary:

GEO Next Generation High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a total enrollment of 442 students. The school's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength but also notable challenges that require attention.

While the school's four-year graduation rate of 83.2% is slightly below the state average, its dropout rate of 3.3% is lower than the state average. However, the school faces concerns with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on LEAP/End of Course exams are mixed, with the school outperforming the state in Algebra I but underperforming in English II and Biology. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 239 out of 333 Louisiana high schools in 2023-2024 to 207 out of 329 in 2024-2025.

One notable characteristic of GEO Next Generation High School is its high percentage of students (77.15%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. This high poverty concentration can present unique challenges and require targeted support. The school's student-teacher ratio of 23.2 is also slightly higher than the state average, which may impact the learning environment.
