This is the only school in a 20 mile range that I would send my own son. The teachers and students have a great relationship. The staff works together on a level I've never seen! Love this school!

I went to Genoa myself,my children go now,and I wouldn't have it any other way.My husband and I recently moved back just to get them in this district. There's no doubt that the academic programs are great,but there could be a few more extracurricular activities,although improvements are being made.Great school system !

I went to school at here, and I think it was great! If you want your child to recieve a good education, I say go to Genoa! It may be a small school, but the smaller the better. You don't get distracted and you can stay focused on your school work much easier! Thanks Genoa! You helped me learn a LOT!
