Summary:

Located in Geneva, NY, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, receiving 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Geneva Middle School faces significant challenges in academic achievement, particularly for its diverse student population and students from low-income families. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on New York State Assessments, with only 27.07% of 6th graders, 40% of 7th graders, and 36.5% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and even lower math proficiency rates. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of its African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools for these subgroups. With 68.14% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has a high concentration of students from low-income families.

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.

Terrible. Principal and Vice Principal have no idea what they are doing. Rampant bullying. No clue on how to deal with kids of this age group. Inappropriate courses of action for discipline. Close Quote

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.
