Summary:

The city of Georgetown, Idaho has just one school, Georgetown Elementary School, which serves students in grades PK-5. As the sole school in the area, it provides the primary educational option for families in Georgetown. The school is part of the Bear Lake County District.

Georgetown Elementary School has demonstrated strong academic performance, outperforming the state average in several key test score metrics, including 5th grade math and 4th grade English Language Arts. The school has also seen its statewide ranking improve over time, moving from #215 out of 354 Idaho elementary schools in 2011-2012 to #92 out of 337 in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating that indicates strong overall performance. However, the school lags the district average in 5th grade science, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% is higher than the state would likely prefer.

Despite its small enrollment of 86 students and relatively low funding, with spending of $5,792 per student, Georgetown Elementary School maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, which can enable more individualized attention. Additionally, 44.19% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the student population, which may require additional support and resources to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
