Summary

Georgetown Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Georgetown, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 86 students. The school is part of the Bear Lake County District. Despite its small size and rural location, Georgetown Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in academic achievement, making it a standout school in the area.

One of the key factors that sets Georgetown Elementary School apart is its strong academic performance. In the most recent 2024-2025 school year, 60% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in ISAT/Math, compared to 55.8% for the district and 42.9% for the state. Similarly, 64.3% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ISAT/English Language Arts, outpacing the district's 62.4% and the state's 50.7%. This trend of higher academic achievement extends across various grade levels and subject areas, indicating that the school is effectively supporting student learning and growth.

While Georgetown Elementary School has faced some challenges, such as fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, it has consistently outperformed nearby schools like Paris Elementary School and A.J. Winters Elementary School, both within the same Bear Lake County District. This suggests that Georgetown Elementary may have effective practices or resources that could be shared with other schools in the district to help improve their performance.
