Summary

Goodwater Montessori School is a public PK-5 elementary school in Georgetown, TX, serving 323 students as a single-school district, separate from the larger Georgetown Independent School District (Isd). This independence is a key factor in understanding the school's performance, which has been highly volatile and generally low compared to nearby schools.

Academically, Goodwater Montessori has struggled significantly. In the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked in the 31st percentile statewide, a slight recovery from a low of the 4th percentile in 2023-2024. This performance is far below that of most GISD elementary schools, such as Jo Ann Ford Elementary and Wolf Ranch Elementary, which consistently rank in the 60th-90th percentile. The school also has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (19.8:1) than the average GISD school (13.6:1), meaning less individual attention for students. A particularly concerning data point is the 5th-grade math proficiency rate, which dropped to just 13.64% in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 47.38%.

Despite these challenges, Goodwater Montessori shows a potential strength in serving special education students, who ranked in the 64th percentile in 2024-2025, though this success was not sustained the following year. However, the school's performance with low-income students has been catastrophic, ranking in the 0th percentile in 2023-2024 before improving to the 17th percentile. Located just 0.61 miles from Pat Cooper Elementary, another low-performing GISD school, Goodwater's isolation from the resources of a larger district may be a significant liability. For parents, this school offers a Montessori philosophy but faces serious academic hurdles that require careful consideration.
