Summary:
The city of Georgetown, Ohio is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school and 2 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The data reveals a school district with some strong academic performance, particularly at the Georgetown Elementary School, but also highlights areas for improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Georgetown Elementary School stands out with consistently high performance on state tests, including 85.1% proficiency in 5th grade science and strong math and English language arts scores across grades 3-6. The school has also seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 638th out of 1,610 Ohio elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 477th out of 1,596 in 2022-2023. In contrast, Georgetown Junior/Senior High School has an impressive 98% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, but also a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.8%.
Across the Georgetown Exempted Village and Southern Hills school districts, the schools have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 92.51% to 98.66% white students, and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.03% to 46.42%. The district may need to consider additional support and resources for students from lower-income families to address these socioeconomic challenges.
