Summary

Georgetown Middle School in Marquette Heights, IL, serves 230 students in grades 4 through 8 and is part of the N Pekin & Marquette Hght School District 102, which holds a 3-star rating. The school has shown impressive growth, climbing from a 1-star rating nearly a decade ago to a consistent 3-star rating, and in the 2024-2025 school year, it ranked 580th out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools—its best performance in years.

Georgetown stands out for its strong English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 60.1%, which is well above the state average of 53.1% and significantly higher than nearby schools like Washington Intermediate School (52.6%) and Edison Junior High School (51.9%). The school is especially effective with its low socio-economic status (SES) students, who make up 58.7% of the student body, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide for this group. This is a remarkable achievement compared to schools like Wilson Intermediate School (42.7% ELA proficiency) and Broadmoor Junior High School (35.2% ELA proficiency), which have similar poverty rates but lower overall performance. Additionally, Georgetown has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.0%, well below the state average of 25.4% and the lowest among nearby schools, including Central Junior High School (21.9%) and Harold B Dawson Middle School (35.7%).

Despite these strengths, Georgetown faces challenges. The school experiences a sharp decline in math performance in 6th grade, with proficiency dropping from 48.8% in 5th grade to just 17.4% in 6th grade, well below the state average of 32.7%. This suggests a transition issue that the school may need to address. Also, while the school excels with low-SES students, its performance with other student groups is less consistent. Notably, Georgetown achieves these results with a per-student spending of $13,369, the lowest among comparison schools, making it a highly efficient use of resources compared to schools like Norwood Elementary School ($23,493 per student).
