Geneva County Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Alabama elementary schools, with a current ranking of 174 out of 684 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state average, particularly in English Language Arts, where 3rd-5th grade students have outperformed the state average by 10-15 percentage points in recent years. The school has also performed exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, ranking 10th out of 426 Alabama elementary schools for its African American student population and consistently ranking in the top 25% for its female students and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 56.29% in 2021-2022 to 68.88% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Slocomb Elementary School (within the same district) and Pinedale Elementary School (in the Enterprise City district), Geneva County Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic achievement and state rankings. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 99th out of 692 schools in 2020-2021 to 174th out of 684 schools in 2023-2024, which could indicate that the school's performance is not keeping pace with improvements at other schools in the state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
