Geneva Area City

The Geneva Area City school district in Ohio consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with high levels of economic need as indicated by the large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Within the district, a few schools stand out in terms of performance. Austinburg Elementary School and Cork Elementary School consistently perform above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 60-80%. These top-performing elementary schools also have lower student-teacher ratios, suggesting they may be more effectively allocating resources. In contrast, the other schools in the district struggle, with test scores and rankings well below state averages.

At the high school level, Geneva High School stands out, with a 91.9% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. The high school also outperforms the district and state on many subject-area tests, particularly in science and American government/history. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and significant disparities in educational outcomes between the top-performing and lower-performing schools.
