Summary:

Georgetown, Kentucky, has three middle schools serving grades 6–8: Scott County Middle School, Royal Spring Middle School, and Georgetown Middle School. Together, their average across the reported results was 49%, compared with 42% for the state—a 7-point lead. But the schools’ results are far from uniform: their overall averages span 24 points.

Scott County stands out at the top, with a 61% overall average and the lead in five of six subject groupings. Its strongest result was 8th-grade writing, at 81%. Royal Spring sits between the other schools, averaging 49%; it leads in 6th-grade math and reading. Georgetown is lowest at 37%, trailing in five of six subject groupings. The sharpest contrast is 8th-grade writing, where Scott County’s 81% is 43 points above Georgetown’s 38%; Georgetown’s results are below the state average in five groupings, with 7th-grade science the exception.

Recent changes were mixed, with Georgetown’s decline the largest: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its average fell 6 points, Scott County’s fell 3, and Royal Spring’s was essentially unchanged. The combined school average fell 3 points, compared with a 1-point state decline. SchoolDigger rankings improved between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026: Scott County moved from 30th to 28th, Royal Spring from 106th to 86th, and Georgetown from 226th to 218th. Other measures offer context, not an explanation: 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 17.1 at Scott County, 15.1 at Royal Spring, and 13.9 at Georgetown. The reported measure was free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025: 53% at Scott County, 43% at Royal Spring, and 55% at Georgetown. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism ranged from 17% at Scott County to 31% at Georgetown, with Royal Spring at 20%.
