Summary

GEO Prep Academy of Greater Baton Rouge is a K-8 charter school in Baton Rouge, LA, serving 769 students in a predominantly low socio-economic status area, and it has recently shown a strong upward trend, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 58th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out from nearby schools in the East Baton Rouge Parish district in several key areas. In English Language Arts, GEO Prep's 76% proficiency rate is significantly higher than the district average of 64% and outperforms every nearby school, including the closest competitor, Greenbrier Elementary School at 72%. In Social Studies, GEO Prep's 59% proficiency rate is the highest among all comparison schools, exceeding the next best, Twin Oaks Elementary School and Riveroaks Elementary School, by a wide margin. The school also excels in preparing students for high school, with 100% of its students proficient in Algebra I and 92% in English I, dramatically higher than state averages. Furthermore, GEO Prep has a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.6%, far below the state average of 22.5% and every single nearby school, which range from 17.9% to 27.7%.

GEO Prep Academy is particularly effective with specific student groups, ranking in the 79th percentile statewide for its work with African American students and the 82nd percentile for English Language Learners, both earning 4-star ratings. The school is on a clear upward trajectory, with its overall state ranking climbing from the 35th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 58th percentile in 2025-2026. While the school shows strong early elementary performance, particularly in 3rd grade, it faces a challenge in sustaining that advantage for older students, especially in math and social studies by 6th grade. Additionally, the school's performance with male students (64th percentile) is notably stronger than with female students (47th percentile), an area for potential focus.
