Summary
Georgetown Junior/Senior High School is a grades 6–12 school serving 395 students in Georgetown, Ohio, a small community in the Georgetown Exempted Village district. The district ranks 269th of 773 statewide (65th percentile, 3 stars), while the school itself ranked 406th of 795 in 2025–2026 (49th percentile, 2 stars) — a notable split, with the district profile stronger than the school's own ranking. Historically the school hovered near the middle of Ohio high schools (56th–58th percentile, 3 stars) before slipping to roughly the state median, earning 2 stars in both 2021–2022 and 2025–2026.
Graduation is a clear strength: 98.6% in 2025–2026, 100% in 2024–2025, and never below 97.3% since 2021–2022 — the highest among nearby schools with reported rates, ahead of North Adams High School and Bethel Tate High School (97.7% each), Williamsburg High School (97.4%), Western Brown High School (96.8%), Eastern High School (96.6%), Felicity-Franklin Local High School (96.3%), and Whiteoak High School (95.9%). Chronic absenteeism improved from 24.8% in 2022–2023 to 17.6% in 2025–2026, better than North Adams, Bethel-Tate, Felicity-Franklin, and Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington, but still higher than Williamsburg (12.6%), Eastern (12.7%), and Whiteoak (14.4%) — and above the district's 13.1%. Middle-grade math is the academic standout: 7th grade math proficiency was 71% versus Ohio's 48.6%, and 8th grade math was 79.7% versus 52%. 8th grade science (78.8%), Biology (78.2%), and American History (79.5%) also beat state averages.
The clearest weak spot is high school English II: 61.4% proficiency, just below Ohio's 62.7% and below most nearby high schools, including Williamsburg (81.6%), North Adams (72.6%), and Eastern (72.4%). American Government sat near the state average at 72.1%, down from 84.0% the year before. Geometry has improved sharply, from 19.7% in 2022–2023 to 46.5% in 2025–2026 — above Ohio's 43.3% but behind Eastern, Williamsburg, and Bethel-Tate. Subgroup results are mixed: low-income students ranked in the 72nd percentile (4 stars), a bright spot, while male students (42nd percentile) trailed female students (56th percentile), and special education results swung from the 89th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 4th percentile in 2025–2026 — too extreme to read as a stable trend, but worth watching. The student-teacher ratio of 14.6 is better than Williamsburg, Western Brown, Bethel-Tate, and North Adams.
