Twin River Elementary-Genoa stands out from nearby schools in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students, around 90%, compared to more diverse student populations at schools like Emerson Elementary and West Park Elementary. The school also performs better than the state average on standardized tests, with 61% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA and 81% in 3rd grade Math, versus state averages of 63% and 58%. Additionally, Twin River Elementary-Genoa has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 35%, and a higher per-student spending of around $26,700, compared to nearby schools that range from 45% to over 50% and $15,400 to $22,650 per student, respectively.

However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from the 4-star range in the mid-2010s to the 2-star range in recent years, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other Nebraska elementary schools. This is in contrast to the nearby Columbus Public Schools district, where schools generally perform below the state averages on assessments. With only 219 students, Twin River Elementary-Genoa is also significantly smaller than the nearby schools, which may suggest potential enrollment challenges or demographic shifts in the area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
