Summary:
The 14454 zip code area is home to two schools - Geneseo Middle School High School and Geneseo Elementary School, both part of the Geneseo Central School District. While Geneseo Middle School High School is a strong-performing school ranked in the top 20% of New York high schools, Geneseo Elementary School appears to be struggling, with much lower academic proficiency rates and a lower SchoolDigger rating.
Geneseo Middle School High School has consistently maintained a high ranking over the past 3 school years, with strong academic performance, high proficiency rates on state assessments, and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Geneseo Elementary School is ranked in the bottom 30% of New York elementary schools and has only a 1-star rating. This significant performance gap between the two schools suggests a potential need to investigate the factors contributing to this disparity and implement targeted interventions at the elementary school level.
Both schools have spending per student that is above the state average, indicating the district is investing significant resources into education. However, the performance gap between the two schools indicates that simply spending more may not be the sole solution, and a closer examination of how the funds are being utilized is warranted. Additionally, the high school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which the district should investigate and address, as it is often linked to lower academic achievement.
