Summary:
Geneva Area City is a small Ohio district serving about 1,949 students across five schools: three elementary schools (grades PK–5), one middle school (grades 5–8), and one high school (grades 9–12). The district overall is rated 2 stars, 44th percentile (435th of 773 in Ohio), but that single rating masks wide differences between buildings — individual schools range from the 34th to the 64th percentile.
Among the elementaries, Austinburg Elementary School is the strongest overall performer, ranking 64th percentile with 3 stars and posting the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 18.9%; its 4th-grade math proficiency is 93.3%. Cork Elementary School follows closely at 59th percentile, 3 stars, with strong early grades (85.4% in 3rd-grade math) and 20.6% absenteeism. Geneva Platt R. Spencer Elementary School is the lowest-ranked school at 34th percentile, 2 stars, below district and state in most areas, with 28.3% absenteeism. The gap between Austinburg's and Platt Spencer's simple proficiency averages is about 17.6 percentage points. Notably, all three elementaries fell below the state in 5th-grade Science, with Austinburg dropping from 70.6% to 42.9% in a single year.
Geneva Middle School (43rd percentile, 2 stars) is mostly below state in 6th–8th math and ELA, yet its Algebra I End-of-Course result of 93.8% far exceeds district and state — likely a select group of advanced students. Geneva High School has slipped from 67th percentile (3 stars) to 41st percentile (2 stars), with the district's highest absenteeism (39.7%) and weak Geometry (36.7%) and Algebra I (54.6%), though its 93.7% graduation rate and results in government, history, biology, and English II are solid. Within the Geneva Area City district, free/reduced-lunch data are unavailable and spending figures date to 2018–2019.
