Best Public Schools in Georgetown, ME

Summary:

The city of Georgetown, Maine is home to a single elementary school, Georgetown Central School, which serves grades PK-6. As the sole educational institution for younger students in the area, Georgetown Central School stands out with its small enrollment of 52 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 6.5 to 1, potentially allowing for a more personalized educational experience.

The school's academic performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the past few years, from 33rd out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 157th out of 289 in 2024-2025, before rebounding to 40th out of 288 in 2023-2024. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were lower than the Georgetown Public Schools district and the state of Maine averages in 2024-2025, its Science proficiency rate was higher, indicating potential strengths in certain subject areas. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024 is notably higher than the state's average, which could be an area of concern.

Overall, Georgetown Central School appears to be the sole educational institution serving the younger students in the city of Georgetown, Maine. While the school's academic performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and varying test scores compared to the district and state, its small size and low student-teacher ratio may provide a more personalized learning environment for its students. The high chronic absenteeism rate, however, is an area that may require further investigation and attention.
