GEO Academies

Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes CREDO at Stanford University is the nation’s leader on charter school performance. They have released many nationally-recognized reports on charter school performance in specific regions/cities and states, and two reporting on the performance of charter management organizations (CMO) across the country. The first national CMO report was released in 2013 and the second one in 2023. These reports study reading and math growth among CMOs.

In the 2013 report, GEO Academies ranked in the top 41% of CMOs in reading growth and 30% in math growth.

By 2023, GEO was among the 34% of CMOs that made the elite list of “Gap-Buster” CMOs. CREDO defines “Gap-Buster” as CMOs that demonstrate both: Strong student growth, and Success in overcoming achievement disparities.

Between the 2013 and 2023 CREDO studies, CREDO documents GEO not only maintained positive academic growth over the decade but did so at a level that CREDO recognized as helping close achievement gaps for students.

🎉 Two ribbon cuttings in two days = two powerful partnerships making a difference in Baton Rouge!

Last Wednesday, we celebrated the opening of GEO Prep Baker’s new campus on Bentley Drive, made possible through our partnership with the East Baton Rouge Parish School System—who owns the building we're now leasing. Enrollment at GEO Prep Baker has nearly tripled this year, and students are loving the park-like atmosphere of their new school!

The very next day, we marked a milestone for GEO Next Generation High School — 100% of our juniors and seniors are taking either college or career courses, as well as their high school classes, on Baton Rouge Community College's Acadian campus. Enrollment at GEO Next Generation High School has increased by 20% and we're excited about our growing partnership with BRCC!

Both ribbon cuttings reflect our deep commitment to collaboration and the success of the students and families we serve. From education to service, our partnerships are paving the way for lasting impact.
