Summary:
The 14454 zip code in New York is home to two schools, Geneseo Middle School High School and Geneseo Elementary School, both part of the Geneseo Central School District. While the district is ranked in the middle of New York school districts, the data reveals notable differences in the performance and characteristics of the two schools.
Geneseo Middle School High School stands out as the stronger performer, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and stronger graduation and dropout rates compared to the elementary school. The middle/high school outperforms the state average on most Regents exams, particularly in Algebra II, Geometry, and Common Core English Language Arts. In contrast, Geneseo Elementary School lags behind the state average on most 3rd-5th grade ELA and math assessments and has a lower 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the elementary school having a higher per-student spending, it is underperforming the middle/high school on most academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to the performance differences. The data also reveals a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the elementary school, with 43.58% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these disparities and leveraging the strengths of the middle/high school could be key focus areas for the Geneseo Central School District to drive improvements across the entire system.
