Genesee School has consistently outperformed the state and district averages in ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) scores across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in ISAT Math and Science expected to be around 50-60% in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 32-43%.

Interestingly, the nearest comparable school, Culdesac School, located about 17 miles away, has significantly lower test scores, graduation rates, and a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to Genesee School. This suggests that Genesee School is providing a high-quality education to its students, which may be attributed to factors such as its relatively low student-teacher ratio, higher spending per student, and low percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch.
