Summary:
Georgetown Public Schools has just one elementary school, Georgetown Central School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite its small size, with just 52 students, this school has consistently ranked among the top 40 elementary schools in Maine over the past two years, placing 33rd in 2022-2023 and 40th in 2023-2024.
Georgetown Central School stands out for its strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all exceeding the state averages. The school's particularly impressive science proficiency rate of 50% in 2024-2025 was significantly higher than the state average of 36.18%. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.5 suggests that students may benefit from more individualized attention and support.
While Georgetown Public Schools as a district may face some challenges, such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% at Georgetown Central School and 30.77% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the elementary school's consistent high performance indicates that it is providing a quality education to its students and is a standout within the district and the state of Maine.
