Summary:

Georgetown, Massachusetts is served by a single public high school: Georgetown High School, part of the Georgetown district. It enrolls 268 students in grades 9–12, so families here have one local high school option and no within-city alternatives to compare against. With only one school, the most useful benchmarks are the Georgetown district and Massachusetts state averages.

Georgetown High School's latest academics are notably strong relative to the state. In 2025–2026, it scored above the state in every reported MCAS Next Generation row: ELA 10th grade at 50.85% versus 45.48%, Mathematics 10th grade at 55.93% versus 43.73%, Science 10th grade at 50% versus 40.5%, and Biology End of Course at 38.71% versus 37.68%. It also beat the district in each of those rows. This is a turnaround, since in 2024–2025 the school sat below the state in all four listed rows. Mathematics showed the largest gain, rising 14.95 percentage points year over year, while Science added 9.32 points and ELA held roughly steady. The state rank moved from 186th of 349 (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025 to 111th of 353 (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — a strong recovery, though still below its 2023–2024 mark of 92nd of 348 (74th percentile, 4 stars).

Outcomes look solid. The graduation rate is 95.4%, above the district's 93.9%, and the dropout rate is 1.5%, matching the district. The student-teacher ratio is a low 9.3. Per-student spending is listed at $18,517, but that figure is from 2020–2021 and is contextual rather than current. Two limitations are worth noting: free/reduced lunch data is blank and not reported, so economic context is unavailable, and the Biology rows differ in grade scope between years.
