Summary

GEO Next Generation High School is a small high school in Baton Rouge, LA, serving 478 students in grades 9-12, and operates as its own single-school district, GEO Next Generation High School.

What truly sets GEO Next Generation apart is its exceptional student engagement. The school boasts an incredibly low chronic absenteeism rate of just 0.4%, a tiny fraction of the state average (22.5%) and far better than nearby schools like Istrouma High School (81.9%) and Belaire High School (55.4%). Even high-performing Baton Rouge Magnet High School (5.8%) has a higher rate. This strong attendance is paired with a graduation rate of 87.3%, which exceeds the state average, and a very low dropout rate of 1.4%. The school appears to be highly effective at creating a supportive environment that keeps students on track to graduate, even if its state test scores are more modest.

GEO Next Generation is a clear standout in its neighborhood, surrounded by some of the lowest-performing high schools in the state. While schools like Tara High School and Broadmoor Senior High School rank in the bottom 10% of Louisiana high schools, GEO Next Generation consistently earns a 2-star rating and ranks in the 33rd percentile statewide. Compared to Collegiate Baton Rouge, a similar charter-like school, GEO has a clear advantage in student engagement, with a chronic absenteeism rate (0.4%) that is a tiny fraction of Collegiate's (36.5%). This suggests the school's core strength is its ability to get students to show up and stay in school, making it a viable and unique option for families in the 70815 zip code.
