Summary

Georgetown-Ridge Farm High School is a small rural school in Georgetown, IL, serving 243 students in grades 9-12, where 65.8% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it is part of the Georgetown-Ridge Farm CUD 4 district.

This school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.6%, which is notably higher than nearby Chrisman High School (17.2%) and Salt Fork High School (15.7%). Despite spending $18,849 per student—the second-highest among its peers—academic outcomes lag behind. For example, Salt Fork High School spends less ($13,437 per student) but achieves a higher state rank and graduation rate (85.5% vs. 84.7%). The school also struggles with a dropout rate of 4.0-4.8%, nearly double the state average of 2.4% and higher than all nearby schools except Danville High School (7.2%).

There are some bright spots, such as strong 9th-grade English Language Arts performance (57.1% proficient), which is the highest among nearby schools and close to the state average (62.4%). However, this progress fades by 11th grade, where ACT ELA proficiency drops to 37.3%. The school also had a remarkable strength in Special Education, ranking in the 74th percentile in 2023-2024, but this plummeted to the 14th percentile in 2024-2025. Math and Science remain persistent weaknesses across all grade levels, with 11th-grade ACT Math (28.8%) and Science (27.6%) proficiency among the lowest in the area. These issues highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
