Summary:
The Geneva Area City district in Ohio has only one middle school, Geneva Middle School, which serves grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 470 students.
Geneva Middle School has consistently performed below average compared to other Ohio middle schools, ranking in the bottom half of the state for the past three school years. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 31.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state tests are below the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with the largest gaps in 8th grade math and English. However, the school did perform better than the district and state on Algebra I end-of-course exams.
Despite the economic challenges faced by the school, with 72.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's per-student spending is below the state average. The school also has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio than the recommended level. To improve outcomes at Geneva Middle School, the district should investigate the root causes of the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, and implement targeted interventions to address these issues, while also exploring ways to increase per-student funding and reduce the student-teacher ratio.
