Summary:
GEO Next Generation High School is the sole high school in the data set, serving grades 9-12 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The school is a public charter institution that has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past two years, dropping from 239 out of 333 Louisiana high schools in 2023-2024 to 207 out of 329 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, GEO Next Generation High School has a mixed performance, with its Algebra I proficiency rate exceeding the state average but its proficiency in other subjects, such as English II, U.S. History, and Biology, falling significantly below state benchmarks. The school also faces challenges with a high poverty rate, as 77.15% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%, which may be contributing factors to its academic struggles.
Despite these challenges, GEO Next Generation High School maintains a respectable four-year graduation rate of 83.2% and a relatively low dropout rate of 3.3%. To improve its overall performance, the school could focus on addressing the areas where its academic proficiency lags behind the state, while also working to reduce chronic absenteeism and support its high-poverty student population.
