Summary

GEO Prep Baker is a small, K-3 charter elementary school in Baker, LA, serving 121 students as its own single-school district, which is ranked 80th out of 116 districts in the state.

This school stands out for its strong support of special education students, ranking in the top half of the state for this group—a notable strength compared to its overall performance. It also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5%, which is better than many nearby schools like J. K. Haynes Teacher Prep and Leadership Academy (50.8%) and Sharon Hills Elementary School (43.2%). In English Language Arts, GEO Prep Baker shows a bright spot in early grades, with 3rd graders outperforming the state average (67% vs. 64%). However, math proficiency is a key area for growth, with overall math scores (49%) trailing the state average (62%). Interestingly, Advantage Charter Academy, located just 0.65 miles away and serving a similar student population, achieves much higher math scores (79% proficient), suggesting potential strategies for improvement.

While GEO Prep Baker performs below state averages overall, it occupies a stable middle ground in a region with many lower-performing schools. It is not a top-tier school like Forest Heights Academy of Excellence, which has a 5-star rating and proficiency rates of 87% in math and 93% in ELA, but it also serves a higher percentage of low-income students (81.8%) compared to Forest Heights (70.9%). The school’s chronic absenteeism rate has been improving, dropping from 23.7% to 20.5% over the past year, reflecting a focus on consistent attendance. For parents seeking a small, stable school with strong special education support and a solid foundation in early literacy, GEO Prep Baker is a reasonable option worth considering.
