Summary

Georgetown High is a public high school serving 917 students in grades 9-12 in Georgetown, South Carolina. The school is part of the Georgetown 01 school district, which is ranked 48 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Georgetown High has shown a mixed performance on standardized tests, with stronger results in some subjects like Algebra 1 and English 2, but lagging behind in others like English 1 and U.S. History. The school's graduation rate is around 85-87%, on par with the district average, and its dropout rate is relatively low. However, Georgetown High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 22.5% to 31.3% of students being chronically absent in recent years. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students showing stronger results compared to other subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Carvers Bay Early College and Career High and Andrews High perform significantly lower than Georgetown High across various metrics, while Waccamaw High, located about 10 miles away, consistently outperforms Georgetown High. The school's relatively low ranking for Gifted and Talented students and its performance in certain subjects suggest opportunities for improvement, and the high rates of chronic absenteeism are a significant concern that may be contributing to the school's overall academic performance.
