Summary:

The Geneseo CUSD 228 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Geneseo High School is a standout, consistently ranked among the top high schools in Illinois with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts exceptional academic performance, with 66.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA and 52% proficient or better in Math, significantly outpacing state averages. Geneseo High School also maintains a high graduation rate of 89% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. Similarly, Northside Elementary School is ranked among the top elementary schools in Illinois, with a 4-star rating and impressive academic performance, with 60.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and 57.4% in Math, outpacing the district and state averages.

While the district as a whole performs well above the state averages in ELA and Math proficiency, there is some variation in the performance of the elementary and middle schools. The district spends between $14,709 and $17,077 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios. However, the district's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch suggests a more affluent student population, which could raise concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities for all students in the Geneseo CUSD 228 district.
