Summary

Georgetown-Ridge Farm High School is a public school in Georgetown, Illinois, serving 243 students in grades 9–12. Its latest Grade 11 results show a broad academic challenge: proficiency is below the Illinois average in ELA, math and science, with science the largest shortfall.

In Grade 11, 27% are proficient in math, compared with 40% statewide; 35% are proficient in ELA, compared with 50% statewide; and 21% are proficient in science, compared with 48% statewide. The school’s district results match its own in these subjects.

Its Grade 11 science result is below both schools’ reported results. Graduation is also a concern: 79% in 2025–26, compared with 90% statewide and 88%–92% at nearby schools.
