Georgetown Middle

Summary:

Georgetown Middle is a public middle school serving 712 students in grades 6-8 in Georgetown, South Carolina, which is part of the Georgetown 01 school district. The school has a diverse student population, with 39.04% White, 46.07% African American, and 12.64% Hispanic students.

While Georgetown Middle excels in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 with a 97.5% proficiency rate, the school struggles in ELA and Math on the SC READY assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.5% to 36.9%. The school's subgroup performance is mixed, ranking relatively well for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, but struggling for African American, White, and low socioeconomic status students. Georgetown Middle has the highest per-student spending among nearby schools at $12,049, but also the highest student-teacher ratio at 15.1.

Georgetown Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. The school's high poverty levels, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, likely contribute to its academic challenges. Compared to nearby schools like Rosemary Middle, Carvers Bay Middle STEAM Academy, and Waccamaw Middle, Georgetown Middle's academic performance is generally lower, despite its higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio.

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.
