Summary

James Tippit Middle in Georgetown, TX, serves 728 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 57th percentile statewide. This school is on a remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from the 11th percentile in 2019 to the 57th percentile in 2026, a turnaround that sets it apart from many nearby schools. Its standout feature is an exceptional Algebra I program, with 76.62% of students scoring proficient in 2025-2026—far exceeding the district average of 48.29% and the state average of 54.03%. This performance is competitive with high-achieving schools like Chisholm Trail Middle (97.99%) and Hopewell Middle (84.79%) in neighboring districts, highlighting a strong advanced math program that prepares students for high school-level coursework.

What makes James Tippit Middle particularly impressive is its ability to drive significant academic improvement for all students, especially those from historically underserved groups. Special education students jumped from the 10th percentile in 2024 to the 58th percentile in 2026, while low socio-economic status students rose from the 8th to the 32nd percentile. This progress is especially notable when compared to schools like C D Fulkes Middle, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 13th percentile with a higher percentage of students from low-income families. In contrast, James Tippit Middle is performing well above expectations given its student demographics, with 43% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a factor that often correlates with lower test scores in other schools.

Despite these strengths, the school has a persistent weakness in social studies, with only 26.61% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026, below both the district (30.4%) and state (31.69%) averages. This area represents a key opportunity for continued growth. Overall, James Tippit Middle is a school on the rise, with strong math performance and a clear focus on equity, making it a compelling choice for families in the Georgetown area. Its upward trajectory and effective programs offer a promising foundation for future success.
