Best Public Schools in Genoa, NE

Summary:

The city of Genoa, Nebraska is home to two schools - Twin River Elementary-Genoa and Twin River Senior High School, both part of the Twin River Public Schools district. While the schools share some similarities, such as low student-teacher ratios, they also exhibit notable differences in their performance and areas of concern.

Twin River Senior High School has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from a 0-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 4-star rating in 2022-2023, and then dropping back down to a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. This volatility in performance is concerning and warrants further investigation. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, with 21.1% at both the elementary and high school levels, which is notably higher than the state average.

Academically, the schools face challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics at the elementary level generally below the state averages, and ACT scores at the high school level also falling short of state averages in English, Math, and Science. However, the high school maintains a respectable 4-year graduation rate of 88.1%. The schools also spend significantly more per student than the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the effectiveness of the educational programs.
