Summary:
The Georgetown Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in size, student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics, with some standout institutions and a few underperforming ones.
Among the top-performing elementary schools in the district are Jo Ann Ford Elementary and Raye McCoy Elementary, both of which rank in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools and have a 4-star rating. These schools excel in reading and math, with over 60% of students proficient on the STAAR tests. In contrast, James E. Mitchell Elementary, Pat Cooper Elementary, and Frost Elementary are the district's lowest-performing schools, ranking in the bottom 12% of Texas elementary schools with 1-star or 0-star ratings.
The data suggests a strong correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance. The higher-performing schools tend to have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, while the lower-performing schools have much higher rates. However, the relationship between a school's racial demographics and its academic outcomes is less clear, with both high-performing and low-performing schools having diverse student populations.
