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.

experiences (ACEs). Because of this
reporting, the Finger Lakes Counseling
Services received grant funding to support
extra hours to cover this need.
• 26% of parents and caregivers reported
that their child watched two hours or
more of TV every day.
PACE literacy findings:
