Geraldine K-12

The Geraldine K-12 school district in Montana consists of three small schools: Geraldine Elementary, Geraldine High School, and Geraldine Middle School. Unfortunately, none of these schools appear to be performing well, with low test scores, high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, and declining statewide rankings.

Across the district, test scores are significantly below state averages. Geraldine Elementary has proficiency rates of just 31.25% in English Language Arts and 18.75% in Mathematics, while Geraldine High School has a 0% proficiency rate in all three tested areas. Geraldine Middle School also struggles, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.11% to 44.44% across the subjects. Additionally, all three schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 54.55% to 68.42%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the small class sizes and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools in the Geraldine K-12 district have not been able to improve their academic performance over time. In fact, the statewide rankings for all three schools have declined, with Geraldine Elementary dropping from a 3-star rating to a 1-star rating, and Geraldine High School dropping from a 4-star rating to a 0-star rating. The district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
