GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, the teachers are welcoming and nice; they do good with their teaching and always aim to prepare you for the future. I've always felt safe at Geneseo High School. When it comes to the population of the school, from my perspective, GHS hasn't been all too diverse, but recently there has been more diversity. GHS is very sports based, but you can still find a comfortable place even if you're not too into sports with plenty of clubs and activities.

I love my old high school. I would say that some of the best things about GHS were all of the opportunities for involvement. We have just about every major athletic team, a theatre and music program, and tons of clubs and activities to choose from. One thing that I would love to see change is the treatment of girls sports and activities. I do think that it has gotten better in recent years, but there is still a divide in what the boys athletic teams get/have and what the girls teams have received. I also loved my teachers at GHS. I can confidently say that they all cared about my success.

Geneseo High School has a lot of things to offer, but if you aren't naturally smart or social you will sink very quickly. The teachers also are not always great at keeping up with students who need extra help and the admin seems to not trust their students in the slightest.
