STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Design and Mathematics)

Geneva 2020 Outcome: 90% of students passing Algebra 1 by the end of ninth grade.

• 78.5% of 2015-16 ninth graders passed the Algebra Regents by the end of August. • New STEAM initiatives in the school district, such

as innovative programming like the Robotics and Aviation Clubs, could boost STEAM interest and the Algebra passing rate.

The 2016-17 kindergarten class: 194 students (128 completed the PACE survey)

• 57% attended prekindergarten (Pre-K), including Head Start, as a three-year old.

• 93% attended Pre-K, including Head Start, as a four-year old.

• 38% had three or more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Because of this reporting, the Finger Lakes Counseling Services received grant funding to support extra hours to cover this need.
