Summary

Geneva Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Geneva City School District in Geneva, NY. With 436 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools over the past several years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Geneva Middle School faces significant academic challenges, particularly in its overall performance on state assessments. The school consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages, with proficiency rates in ELA ranging from 36.76% to 43.85% and in math from 25.24% to 36.57%, well below the state averages. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students. However, the school performs relatively well on Regents exams, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in Living Environment and Algebra I.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Canandaigua Middle School and Union Springs Middle School, Geneva Middle School generally underperforms on academic measures. These nearby schools demonstrate stronger academic performance, which could provide valuable insights for Geneva Middle School to learn from. Additionally, the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest that resources alone are not the primary driver of its struggles, and a deeper examination of instructional practices, curriculum, and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

Terrible. Principal and Vice Principal have no idea what they are doing. Rampant bullying. No clue on how to deal with kids of this age group. Inappropriate courses of action for discipline. Close Quote
