Summary:
The 29130 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Geiger Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Geiger Elementary has a SchoolDigger rating of 3 out of 5 stars, ranking 250 out of 640 South Carolina elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 and a 3-star rating in 2022-2023.
Geiger Elementary serves a high-poverty community, with 100% of its 276 students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school generally outperforms the Fairfield 01 district and the state of South Carolina in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, though there are some exceptions in certain grade levels. The school spends $18,677 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.8.
While Geiger Elementary's performance is not perfect, the school's ability to outperform the district and state in several academic areas is a positive indicator of its effectiveness in supporting student learning. However, the school's fluctuating performance and the high poverty levels of its student population suggest that there may be room for improvement, and further analysis and targeted interventions could help the school achieve more consistent and higher levels of academic success.
