Better than 41% of Illinois middle schools
Summary

Georgetown Middle School serves 230 students in grades 4–8 in Marquette Heights, Illinois, and its results place it among the stronger nearby schools in English language arts (ELA) and math. In 2025–2026, it ranked second among nine nearby schools reporting results in both subjects. The most important concern is that, despite that strong local standing, Georgetown’s all-grades math proficiency remained below both the state and district results.

ELA is a clear strength: 61.3% of Georgetown students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide and 60.9% in the district. Math proficiency was 36%, versus 40% statewide and 40% in the district, though Georgetown still ranked second locally and was above the nearby-school average of 21%. Fifth grade stood out: Georgetown led nearby schools reporting results in fifth-grade ELA (65%), math (50%), and science (68%). Results are less consistent in upper grades: seventh-grade ELA was 51%, 6 points below the state, and eighth-grade math was 26%, 9 points below the state. Eighth-grade science ranked second among nearby schools reporting results, but at 49% it was 3 points below the state.

Results have improved since 2023–2024: ELA rose by 20 points to 61%, while math gained 16 points to 36%, narrowing its gap with the state by 5 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile nevertheless fell from 58 to 41 between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and its rating went from 3 stars to 2; its latest rank was 664 of 1,126. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notable contrast in how well the school serves different groups: its percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students was 65, above the overall 41, while its percentile for White Students was 17. In 2024–2025, Georgetown’s student-teacher ratio was 13.1, close to the nearby average of 12.9, and 58.7% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
