Summary

Georgetown High School is a large, comprehensive high school in Georgetown, TX, serving 2,059 students in grades 9-12 within the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown remarkable improvement over the past several years, climbing from the 46th percentile statewide in 2018-2019 to the 73rd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.5:1 and a relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (23.94%), the school provides a strong academic environment for its students.

Georgetown High School consistently outperforms its in-district rival, East View High School, and nearby Stony Point High School across all core subjects on STAAR End-of-Course exams. For example, in Biology, Georgetown achieves an 82.2% proficiency rate compared to East View's 67.58% and Stony Point's 75.66%. The school also boasts an exceptional 98.5% graduation rate and an extremely low 0.2% dropout rate, far better than the district averages of 94.8% and 0.6%, respectively. While the school excels overall, it has shown particular strength in serving its Special Education students, jumping from the 49th percentile (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 73rd percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026, indicating effective targeted interventions.

Despite its overall success, Georgetown High School faces challenges in closing the achievement gap for its low socio-economic status (SES) students, who rank in the 33rd percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026. This contrasts sharply with the school's overall high performance. Interestingly, the school's per-student spending ($10,082) is slightly higher than East View's ($9,947) but significantly lower than the alternative Chip Richarte High School ($19,592), yet Georgetown achieves far better results, demonstrating that effective use of funds matters more than spending alone. For families considering options, it's worth noting that the nearby magnet school Rrisd Early College High School achieves top-tier results (98th percentile, 5 stars), but as a selective-admissions school, it serves a different mission than Georgetown's comprehensive high school model.
