Summary

Georgetown Middle School is a public middle school serving 588 students in grades 6-8 in Georgetown, Kentucky. It is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 73 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Georgetown Middle School has seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $14,187 in 2020-2021 to $22,326 in 2023-2024, its academic performance has consistently lagged behind the nearby Royal Spring Middle School and Scott County Middle School, which are also part of the Scott County district. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in KSA/Mathematics ranged from 32-38% at Georgetown Middle School, compared to 45-48% for the Scott County district and 40-43% for the state of Kentucky. Similar gaps are seen in reading, science, and other subject areas.

Georgetown Middle School also faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates (25-28%) compared to the Scott County district (21.5-25%) and the state (25%), as well as higher dropout rates ranging from 0.5-1.3%. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its ranking fluctuating from as low as 290th out of 331 Kentucky middle schools in 2015-2016 to as high as 154th out of 320 in 2021-2022. Addressing these issues and learning from the success of nearby schools could help Georgetown Middle School improve its overall performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
