Geronimo

The Geronimo school district in Oklahoma consists of three schools: Geronimo Elementary School, Geronimo High School, and Geronimo Middle School. The data reveals a mixed picture, with Geronimo High School standing out as the strongest performer in the district, while the elementary and middle schools face some challenges.

Geronimo High School is the standout, ranking 135 out of 463 Oklahoma high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% and outperforms the state average in 11th grade OSTP test scores across multiple subjects. In contrast, Geronimo Elementary School's performance is more inconsistent, with 3rd-grade students performing below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but 6th-grade students performing better in Mathematics.

Across the district, there are some concerning trends, such as high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 70.79% at the high school to 78.57% at the middle school, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there are funding disparities, with Geronimo High School receiving significantly more spending per student ($11,446) compared to the elementary ($8,535) and middle ($8,172) schools. Addressing these issues, such as early-grade learning gaps and equitable resource allocation, could be important focus areas for the district.
