Summary:
Georgetown has three public schools — one elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, with 1,129 students enrolled and the Georgetown district ranked 169th of 351 Massachusetts districts at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars.
Georgetown High School is the standout, ranking 111th of 353 schools (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-2026 and beating the state in 10th grade ELA (50.85% vs. 45.48%), math (55.93% vs. 43.73%), science (50.00% vs. 40.50%), and Biology End of Course (38.71% vs. 37.68%), with a 95.4% graduation rate, a 1.5% dropout rate, and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.3. Its results swing, though: 74th percentile and 4 stars in 2023-2024, 47th percentile and 2 stars in 2024-2025, then a rebound in 2025-2026. Penn Brook (674 students) is the largest school, posting 2025-2026 all-grades results above state in ELA (42.54%), math (42.16%), and science (42.86%), but its rank has slipped from the 63rd to the 51st percentile. It has a standout 4th grade (math 64.29% vs. state 43.20%) yet weaker 3rd grade math (31.18% vs. 42.19%) and 5th grade math (32.97% vs. 39.50%). Georgetown Middle School ranks 217th of 478 (55th percentile, 3 stars), with 6th and 7th grade ELA and math at or above state, but all-grades science at 25.25% vs. state 40.98% and 8th grade ELA at 24.49% vs. state 41.70%.
Overall, science is the most uneven subject — strong at the high school and elementary level, but the clearest red flag at the middle school, especially in 8th grade. Staffing ratios also vary widely, from 9.3 at the high school to 17.3 at Penn Brook. Note that free/reduced lunch data is blank for all three schools, and spending figures ($15,556 to $18,830 per student) come from 2020-2021.
