Summary:
The 60135 list contains one elementary school, Genoa Elementary School, serving grades 3–5 and 353 students. With no other school in the list, families have no school-to-school comparison here. The most important finding is that Genoa’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were below state results in both all-grades ELA and math: 38% versus 56% in ELA and 25% versus 40% in math.
Genoa is both the list’s highest- and lowest-performing school by default, so this does not show how it compares with other area schools. Within Genoa, fourth-grade ELA was the strongest reported grade-level result at 44%, while fifth-grade math was lowest at 15%; fifth-grade math also had the largest school–state gap, at 21 percentage points (15% versus 36%). All-grades ELA was 19 points below the state, and all-grades math was 14 points below.
Results changed unevenly over time: ELA rose by 2 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but its gap with the state widened by 1 point; math fell by 6 points as the state rose by 1, widening the gap by 7 points. Fifth-grade science improved by 10 points, and its state gap narrowed by 3 points, though it remained 8 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranked Genoa 1,442 of 1,737 schools, in the 17th percentile, with 1 star for 2025–2026; its percentile fell from 41 in 2023–2024 to 17. Chronic absenteeism was a more favorable comparison: 10% at Genoa versus 14% in Genoa Kingston CUSD 424 and 24% statewide. For context, Genoa’s student-teacher ratio was 12.9 in 2024–2025, and 41% were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year.
