Georgetown Behavioral Health Institute

Summary:

Georgetown Behavioral Health Institute is a small alternative public charter school serving grades 4-12 in Georgetown, TX, part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 846 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating.

The school has struggled with significant challenges, including low graduation rates (0.0% in 2019-2020 and 12.5% in 2018-2019), high dropout rates (ranging from 2.4% in 2019-2020 to 10.1% in 2021-2022), and poor academic performance, with test scores that are significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 0% of students were proficient or better in Algebra I and Biology, compared to 45% and 57% statewide, respectively. When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Rosedale in the Austin ISD, Georgetown Behavioral Health Institute stands out as an underperforming institution, with a lower four-year graduation rate (0.0% vs. 0.0%) and a higher dropout rate (10.1% vs. 1.8%).

The school's data, particularly around student racial makeup, graduation rates, and free/reduced lunch rates, is also inconsistent across different years, making it challenging to identify long-term trends and patterns. The school's small size, high dropout rates, and low test scores suggest that it may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, and the school's location within a low-ranked district (the University of Texas University Charter School District) may also be a contributing factor.

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.
