Best Public Schools in Genoa, NE

The city of Genoa, Nebraska is home to two schools: Twin River Elementary-Genoa, a PK-6 grade elementary school, and Twin River Senior High School, a 7-12 grade high school. Both schools are part of the Twin River Public Schools district, which is ranked 21st out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 4-star rating.

Based on the data, the standout school in this area is Twin River Senior High School. The high school has consistently outperformed the state average on ACT and NSCAS tests, particularly in mathematics, science, and English language arts. It has also achieved a high statewide ranking, reaching as high as 34th out of 146 Nebraska high schools. Additionally, the school boasts an impressive 87.9% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Twin River Elementary-Genoa has struggled with lower test scores and rankings compared to state averages.

However, both schools face a significant challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly above the state average at 19.3%. This could be a contributing factor to the performance differences between the two schools. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the elementary school level compared to the high school level suggests a focus on early childhood education, but it's unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved academic outcomes at the elementary school.
