Summary

Georgetown High School is a small, rural alternative school in Georgetown, Louisiana, serving 236 students in grades PK through 12 within the Grant Parish school district.

This school stands out for its exceptional high school performance, particularly on end-of-course exams. For example, in Biology, 94% of students were proficient, far exceeding the district average of 54% and the state average of 59%. The school also boasts a perfect 0% dropout rate for the last five years and a graduation rate of 92.9%, which is nearly 8 points higher than the state average. While early elementary grades, especially 4th grade, show some areas for growth, the school demonstrates strong results in upper elementary and middle school, with 5th-grade math proficiency at 80% and 8th-grade math at 72%. English Language Arts is a consistent strength across all grade levels.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which has more than doubled in recent years to 22.5%. This trend, if not addressed, could impact the school's otherwise strong academic and graduation outcomes. Overall, Georgetown High School is a high-performing school that defies expectations for an alternative school, with a clear focus on student success and retention. Its small size and low student-teacher ratio of 10.8:1 likely contribute to its ability to provide individualized support and achieve such impressive results.
