Fillmore Central Elementary is a public elementary school in Geneva, Nebraska, serving 273 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Fillmore Central Public Schools district, which is ranked 79 out of 115 districts in the state.

Fillmore Central Elementary has consistently performed well on the NSCAS exams, with a majority of its students scoring proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 4th-grade students outperformed the state average in both ELA (71.05% vs. 59.59%) and Mathematics (84.21% vs. 60.65%). Compared to nearby schools, such as Meridian Elementary School, Fillmore Central's performance is generally higher.

However, Fillmore Central Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.4% in 2024-2025 to 21.1% in 2023-2024. This trend is not unique to Fillmore Central, as nearby schools like Sutton Elementary School and Meridian Elementary School have also reported high chronic absenteeism rates. Despite this challenge, Fillmore Central maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, suggesting a commitment to providing quality resources for its students.
