Georgetown High School has a relatively diverse student population, with 57.23% White, 32.89% Hispanic, and 5.02% African American students. The school consistently achieves high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.5% to 99.3% over the past five years, significantly outperforming the nearby Chip Richarte High School, which had a 89.4% four-year graduation rate. Georgetown High School also generally outperforms the district and the state of Texas in STAAR End-of-Course assessments, particularly in subjects like Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History.

However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with lower rankings and ratings for Hispanic, African American, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Georgetown High School's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from a high of 396 out of 1,743 Texas high schools in 2014-2015 to 641 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other high schools in the state.

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.
