Best Elementary Schools in Georgetown, ME

Summary:

The city of Georgetown, Maine is home to a single elementary school, the Georgetown Central School, which serves students from the Georgetown Public Schools district. This small school, with just 52 students, has consistently performed well academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science exceeding the state averages over the past two school years.

Georgetown Central School has earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, placing it among the top 40 elementary schools in Maine. However, the school's ranking dropped to 157th out of 289 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting fluctuations in its performance or the overall performance of other schools in the state. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 6.5 indicates that students may receive more individualized attention, but the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% could be an area of concern.

While Georgetown Central School's academic performance is generally strong, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages, the school's small size and socioeconomic factors, such as a slightly higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the state average, may present unique challenges and opportunities for the school and its community. Overall, Georgetown Central School appears to be a standout elementary school in the region, providing a quality education to its students despite the fluctuations in its statewide ranking.
