The school is part of the Georgetown Public Schools district, which is ranked 100 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Georgetown Central School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 40 elementary schools in Maine over the past three school years, with a high of 33rd out of 290 schools in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all above the state averages, with particularly strong performance in ELA and Science. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 6.5 to 1, which is significantly lower than the state average and likely contributes to the school's academic success.

However, the school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 33rd out of 290 schools in 2022-2023 to 157th out of 289 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges that are impacting its academic performance, such as a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a population with a higher level of economic need, with 30.77% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Maintaining the school's exceptional student-teacher ratio will be crucial in addressing these challenges and ensuring the continued academic success of Georgetown Central School.
