Summary

Douglas Benold Middle in Georgetown, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 720 students in grades 6-8, part of the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptional academic results, particularly in advanced math, and has shown consistent improvement over the past decade, now ranking in the top 20% of Texas middle schools.

The most impressive feature at Douglas Benold is its Algebra I program. An outstanding 95% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam are proficient, which is nearly double the district average and far above the state average. This suggests a strong pipeline for preparing students for advanced coursework. The school also performs well across all core subjects, with reading and math proficiency rates significantly higher than both the district and state averages. For example, 6th-grade reading proficiency is 74%, compared to 54% for the district. This academic strength is so notable that Douglas Benold even matches or exceeds the performance of top schools in the higher-rated Leander Independent School District (Isd), such as Knox Wiley Middle, in key areas like 6th-grade reading and Algebra I.

While the school benefits from a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to its district peers, it has also shown remarkable progress in supporting all learners. The school has dramatically improved outcomes for its low-socioeconomic status students, moving from a low state ranking to a solid middle ranking in just two years. Areas for continued focus include supporting special education students and English language learners, though both groups have shown recent improvement. Overall, Douglas Benold is a top choice for families seeking a rigorous and well-rounded middle school education in the Georgetown area, consistently outperforming nearby schools like Charles A Forbes Middle and James Tippit Middle.
