Geneva High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, ranking between 714-877 out of 1190-1234 schools over the past 10 years. It has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, with a 0-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year. The school struggles to perform well across various student subgroups, often ranking in the bottom 50% of New York high schools for African American, Hispanic, Multi-racial, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Geneva High School's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 72.4% to 84.3% over the past 5 years, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate has been high, ranging from 4.5% to 13.1% during this period.

When comparing Geneva High School to nearby high schools, such as Penn Yan Academy, Union Springs High School, and Canandaigua Academy, it generally performs worse across key metrics like statewide ranking, graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and academic performance on Regents exams. Despite a significant increase in spending per student, from $13,973 in 2021-2022 to $25,714 in 2023-2024, the school's challenges have not been resolved, suggesting that the issues may not be solely due to resource constraints.
