Summary

Geneva Platt R. Spencer Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Geneva, Ohio, serving 343 students in the Geneva Area City district. It has been rated 2 stars every year shown and ranks 1,024th of 1,560 Ohio schools (34th percentile) in 2025–26, below its district’s 44th percentile. This is a long-running pattern, not a one-year dip, with percentile ranks mostly between 31 and 42 over the past decade. Chronic absenteeism is 28.3% in 2025–26, improved from 48.2% in 2021–22 and slightly better than the district’s 29.6%.

Within Geneva Area City, Platt Spencer is the lowest-ranked of the three elementary schools shown. Cork Elementary School (285 students) is at the 59th percentile with 3 stars and 20.6% chronic absenteeism, and Austinburg Elementary School (216 students) is at the 64th percentile with 3 stars and 18.9% absenteeism. Platt Spencer’s simple average of current Grades 3–5 tests is about 55.2% proficient, compared with roughly 64.1% for the district and 63.8% for the state. It trails nearby Ridgeview Elementary School (~70.7), Jefferson Elementary (~68.7), North Elementary School (~69.0), and South Elementary School (~74.4), though it outperforms Erie Intermediate School and Superior Intermediate School. Fifth-grade math is a bright spot above district and state; 3rd-grade math, 3rd-grade ELA, and 4th-grade ELA lag far below both.

Attendance has improved, but achievement remains low. Some student groups, including male students and special education students, rank lower, while low-income students rank comparatively better at the 46th percentile. Older data also raised questions about support for advanced learners. Class size is 16.7 students per teacher, and 2018–19 spending was $8,080 per student. Overall, Platt Spencer is a stable but low-performing school relative to most nearby peers, with its strongest signals in attendance and 5th-grade math and its clearest challenges in early-grade math/ELA, 4th-grade ELA, and certain student groups.
