Geiger Elementary is part of the Fairfield 01 School District, which is ranked 33 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Geiger Elementary has maintained a relatively consistent academic performance, ranking between 250 and 361 out of 640 South Carolina elementary schools over the past few years, with a 3-star rating. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades. However, in 6th grade Mathematics, Geiger Elementary had only 25.9% proficiency, compared to 21.8% for the district and 39.4% for the state, indicating a potential area for improvement.
Geiger Elementary serves a community with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 100%. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,677 and low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 suggest a strong focus on providing personalized attention and resources to support student learning.
