Summary

Genoa Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Genoa, Illinois, with 345 students. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently below-average test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups.

Genoa Elementary School's test scores are consistently below the state and Genoa Kingston CUSD 424 district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 35.2% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.6% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with Hispanic students, White students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities performing poorly compared to their peers statewide.

Genoa Elementary School's performance lags behind many nearby schools, such as Hampshire Elementary School, Riley Community Cons School, and the Sycamore CUSD 427 schools, which generally have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and more effectively serve their student subgroups. Furthermore, Genoa Elementary School's ranking among Illinois elementary schools has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.
