Summary

Geil Elementary School is a public elementary school in Gering, Nebraska, serving 299 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gering Public Schools district, which is ranked 100 out of 115 districts in the state.

Geil Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics. In the 2022-2023 school year, 85% of 4th-grade students and 79% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in the NSCAS mathematics assessments, significantly outperforming the state averages of 59% and 65%, respectively. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance has been more mixed, with 3rd and 4th-grade students generally scoring below the district and state averages in recent years.

One of Geil Elementary School's notable strengths is the exceptional performance of its Hispanic and low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups.

However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.7% to 21.1% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.
