Summary

Georgetown High School is a small public high school in Georgetown, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 268 students in a small northeastern Massachusetts town. In 2025–2026 it ranked 111th of 353 Massachusetts high schools (69th percentile, 3 stars) — a clear rebound from 2024–2025, when it ranked 186th of 349 (47th percentile, 2 stars) — though still well below its 2018–2019 peak of 18th of 351 (95th percentile, 5 stars), so the long-term pattern is volatile rather than consistently top-tier. Notably, the school's 69th percentile sits above the Georgetown district's overall 52nd percentile.

Among nearby schools, Georgetown High School is the second-smallest, larger only than Gateway Academy (156 students). Its 9.3 student-to-teacher ratio is second-lowest in the group, behind Ipswich High (8.9) and below Newburyport High, Whittier Regional Vocational, Triton Regional High School, Pentucket Regional Senior High, Masconomet Regional High School, Haverhill High, North Andover High, and Lawrence High School. Spending of $18,517 per student (2020–2021) tops several neighbors but trails Whittier, Masconomet, Triton, and Ipswich. On 2025–2026 grade-10 MCAS, Georgetown scored above the state in every reported subject — ELA 50.85% vs. 45.48%, Math 55.93% vs. 43.73%, Science 50% vs. 40.5%, and Biology EOC 38.71% vs. 37.68% — with Math and Science its strongest margins. Even so, it trails Newburyport, Ipswich, and Masconomet on overall rank and most subjects.

Completion outcomes are solid: a 95.4% graduation rate and 1.5% dropout rate, better than Haverhill High and Lawrence High School and broadly competitive with other nearby districts. Subgroup effectiveness rebounded sharply in 2025–2026 — Special Education Students ranked 31 of 298 (90th percentile), up from the 17th percentile a year earlier, while Female Students reached the 73rd percentile, White Students 72nd, Male Students 67th, and Low Socio Economic Status Students 61st. With only 268 students overall, subgroup cohorts are small and year-to-year swings can be large. Overall, Georgetown High is a small, reasonably well-resourced school in recovery — strong on Math, Science, and graduation, but not yet back to its historical peak.
