Genoa’s public schools outscore 98% of Arkansas districts

In Genoa, 66% of tested students are proficient in math, above the Arkansas average (38%). The grade covers the public school district serving Genoa, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Arkansas, not nationally.
