Summary

Genoa Central High School is a small, high-performing public high school in Texarkana, Arkansas, serving 258 students in grades 10 through 12 as part of the top-rated Genoa Central School District.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic results and remarkably low rate of economic disadvantage. In English Language Arts, 47.8% of students are proficient, nearly double the rate at nearby Fouke High School (36.1%) and far above Arkansas High School (25.8%). In Geometry, Genoa Central is the only school in the area to exceed the state average, with 31.6% proficiency compared to just 16.9% at Arkansas High. Only 20.93% of students receive free or reduced lunch, which is less than half the rate of the next lowest local school and a fraction of the 100% rate at Arkansas High. The school also boasts a very high graduation rate (94.5%) and an exceptionally low dropout rate (0.3%), outperforming both Spring Hill High School and Fouke High in this area.

Genoa Central’s small size is a clear advantage, with a low student-teacher ratio of 6:1 that allows for individualized attention. The school has been remarkably consistent, earning a 5-star rating in four of the last five years and never ranking below the 84th percentile statewide. While its Biology proficiency (39.4%) is slightly below the state average, the district’s overall science scores are much higher, suggesting strong science instruction in earlier grades. Notably, the school achieves these top-tier results with lower per-student spending ($12,097) than lower-performing peers like Arkansas High ($15,794) and Fouke High ($13,620), making it a model of efficiency and consistent excellence in the Texarkana area.
