Summary:
The 68640 zip code contains a single elementary school, Twin River Elementary-Genoa, which serves students in grades K-6. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were all below the state averages.
Twin River Elementary-Genoa has a student population of 217, with a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students as indicated by a 36.87% free and reduced-price lunch rate. The school spends $26,912 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.7 compared to the state average. However, these resource allocations do not seem to be translating into stronger academic outcomes, as the school's performance remains below the state average.
The school's challenges appear to be shared by the broader Twin River Public Schools district, suggesting that the factors contributing to the school's performance may be systemic within the district. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which may be impacting student performance and is an area of concern that requires further investigation.
