Georgetown Middle School

Q: Is Georgetown Middle School a good school?

Georgetown Middle School ranks 205 th of 493 Massachusetts middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Georgetown Middle School is a public middle school serving 186 students in grades 7-8 in Georgetown, MA, which is part of the Georgetown school district. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, is generally on par with or slightly below the state averages, but lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools like Masconomet Regional Middle School and Ipswich Middle School.

Georgetown Middle School's performance varies across different student subgroups. While the school ranks in the middle range for female students and special education students, it ranks lower for male students and white students compared to other Massachusetts middle schools. The school also saw a significant drop in its ranking for low socioeconomic status students, from 123 out of 489 in 2021-2022 to 373 out of 481 in 2022-2023, which suggests the school may need to provide more targeted support and resources for this population.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 110 out of 487 middle schools in 2016-2017 to 205 out of 493 in 2023-2024, indicates that Georgetown Middle School may be struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other middle schools in the state. When compared to nearby middle schools, Georgetown Middle School generally performs below the higher-achieving schools but outperforms the lower-performing schools in the Haverhill district, such as Consentino Middle and Dr. Paul Nettle.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
