Summary:
The Geneva City School District in New York has only one high school, Geneva High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some areas of academic strength, it faces significant challenges in terms of student performance, engagement, and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged population.
Geneva High School's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 31.5%, which is significantly above the state average. Academically, the school's performance on Regents exams is mixed, with some subject areas, like Chemistry and U.S. History, exceeding state averages, while others, like Algebra II and English Language Arts, fall behind.
Despite spending $25,714 per student, which is higher than the state average, Geneva High School's overall performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 802 out of 1,228 high schools in 2022-2023 to 877 out of 1,234 high schools in 2024-2025. This suggests a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and address the root causes of the school's challenges, particularly in supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, which makes up nearly 59% of the student body.
