We have been a part of the Geneva school family for years and have never had a bad experience. As a parent, I feel that my child is safe and cared for. The teachers obviously love what they do and are very communicative. We love Geneva!

Both of my children recently attended Geneva in grades K-5. We found Geneva to be a wonderful community. The teachers were dedicated. Many of the students' families were dedicated, too. The few times we had issues, the teachers, counselor, and administration addressed them appropriately. My kids were happy there and still talk fondly of their experiences there. As a parent with a strong STEM background, I would have preferred to see some courses taught more effectively, but I think this is an overall district/curriculum issue, not a Geneva-specific issue.

So far adequate, disappointed. The staff has no direction, terrible leadership. It’s more like parents, and staff are all friends so nothing is enforced. Which brings a larger problem when you bring up an issue you’re having. If you’re a parent that wants nothing to do with your child, and you’re primarily sending them to school so they can essentially go to daycare this is a great school. Education is lacking, social education is worse. The new principal is pathetic at leadership, and it shows from the office to the accountability of the teachers.

Great for K and 1st, awful for 2nd, and mediocre for 5th.

If you have a special needs child, please do not send them there. They will be borderline abused.

This school has been my home away from home for many years. I have volunteered many hours there because it is a great place to be. Very positive with awesome teachers, principal and staff members. Everyone is involved. Our PTA is the best too! This school has been a terrific part of our children's lives. Tons of memories and pictures. Thank you Geneva!
