Twin River Public Schools

The Twin River Public Schools district in Nebraska operates two schools: Twin River Elementary-Genoa, serving grades PK-6, and Twin River Senior High School, serving grades 7-12. Based on the available data, Twin River Senior High School appears to be the stronger-performing school in the district.

Twin River Senior High School has a higher statewide ranking, with a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to the 2 out of 5 star rating for Twin River Elementary-Genoa. The high school also demonstrates stronger academic performance, with higher proficiency rates on ACT and NSCAS assessments compared to state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 64.52% of 11th graders at the high school were proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, significantly higher than the state average of 41.27%. Additionally, the high school has a higher four-year graduation rate of 87.9%.

While both schools have concerning chronic absenteeism rates of 19.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average, the data suggests that the district should focus on improving the performance and equity at the elementary school level. Twin River Elementary-Genoa has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and lower proficiency rates on NSCAS assessments compared to the state averages. The higher free and reduced-price lunch rate at the elementary school may indicate socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance, and the district should investigate ways to address these disparities and ensure equitable access to resources and support.
