Summary

Geneva Platt R. Spencer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 376 students in grades K-5 in the Geneva Area City School District in Geneva, Ohio. The school has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its performance has been relatively consistent over the past several years.

One key challenge for the school is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.9% to 35.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Cork Elementary (31.7%) and Austinburg Elementary (31.7%). Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 45.2% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in ELA compared to 59.7% in the district and 61.9% statewide.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Hispanic students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 10th out of 228 Ohio elementary schools in 2018-2019, other subgroups like White students, Gifted and Talented students, and Special Education students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio schools. This suggests that the school may need to tailor its interventions and support to address the unique needs of each subgroup. Addressing the socioeconomic factors that appear to be a significant driver of the school's challenges may also be key to improving its overall performance.
