Summary

Georgetown Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 229 students in the rural community of Georgetown, California, as part of the Black Oak Mine Unified School District.

The school has a 3-star rating and performs at about the average for California schools overall, but it faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is much higher than at nearby schools like Northside Elementary (also in Black Oak Mine Unified) and Sierra Elementary. Despite this attendance issue, Georgetown shows notable academic strengths, particularly in science, where its proficiency rate exceeds both district and state averages. Performance varies by grade, with sixth graders showing solid results in English and math, while fourth grade is an area identified for growth.

Compared to other local schools with similar levels of student economic need, such as Indian Creek Elementary, Georgetown's academic results are competitive. The school's statewide ranking has improved considerably in recent years, jumping to the 50th percentile after being in the 24th percentile the prior year. This recent progress, alongside strong science scores, suggests the school is implementing effective programs for the students who attend regularly.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, June 21, 2011

We completed 2 years K-1 at GS. We encountered multiple, serious unaddressed problems with a teacher and administration including child health & safety issues that due to no satisfactory resolution have led us to find schooling elsewhere- which isn't difficult to do since there is American River charter school in Garden Valley.

The good points? Some great friends have their kids there and they do the best they can with what they are working with.

There are some very caring and lovely people working there as staff & teachers.
They have a beautiful greenhouse and garden on site that the kids got to work in a couple times the years we were there.

It's a gorgeous location in a beautiful forest setting next to a unique nature preserve (that sad enough isn't utilized by the school except to run the upper grade PE class through). Neither year we were there did we have any event in the nature center except for the end of the year graduation for Kindergarten in the outdoor amphitheater. A real oversight and loss for the students there.

In the year since changing to our new school, we've had 3 events in the nature center including a camp out, mine shaft exploration, tree and plant identification walks, docents on insect life in the waterways and picnics.

We are sorry Georgetown school was unable to be responsive to our educational needs. We gave it a go. But it became a no-go.

The bottom line? My child wasn't happy there so was unable to benefit from the few good things the place does have going for it. It was a real loss to part our friends and families we love there. Close Quote
