District-Level NCES Analysis

Geneva City School District operates 4 public schools serving 2,129 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New York.

These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Ontario County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $24,893 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 986 New York districts by per-pupil spending. See how New York compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

That dominant concentration means Geneva City School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Geneva City School District reports 63.7% free-lunch eligibility

The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.

Geneva City School District student-counselor ratio is 304:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Geneva City School District is typically wider than the Geneva City School District-aggregate figure suggests.

Source: NCES Civil Rights Data Collection

Geneva City School District chronic absenteeism rate is 37.8% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
