Summary

Pat Cooper Elementary in Georgetown, TX, serves 630 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd), a district rated average compared to others in Texas. The school has faced significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with a current state percentile rank of 21st. This places it well below nearby schools like Jo Ann Ford Elementary (91st percentile) and Wolf Ranch Elementary (74th percentile), which are just a few miles away. The school also has a high rate of economic disadvantage, with 66.8% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, a figure that is dramatically higher than these high-performing neighbors.

Despite these overall struggles, there are some positive signs. The school's Gifted and Talented (GT) program stands out, with GT students ranking in the 54th percentile statewide in the 2024-2025 school year, earning a 3-star rating. This suggests that the school is effectively identifying and challenging its highest-ability students, even while the general population faces difficulties. Additionally, the school's overall ranking has shown a slight upward trend, improving from a low of the 9th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026, indicating that progress is possible with continued effort.

However, the school faces critical challenges in serving its most vulnerable students. English Language Learner (ELL) students ranked in the 8th percentile, and Special Education students ranked in the 2nd percentile in 2024-2025, among the lowest subgroup rankings in the area. This highlights a need for targeted interventions and resources for these groups. Interestingly, per-student spending at Pat Cooper ($10,560) is in line with other district schools, including high-performing Jo Ann Ford Elementary ($10,139), suggesting that the performance gap is not simply a matter of funding but likely related to the concentration of poverty and the specific challenges that come with it.

Open Quote Although the academics may suggest a substandard elementary school, I have nothing but superlatives to describe the staff at this school. From the Principal Ms Peacock down, they make my daughter feel at home and act accountable for her actions at the school. I love Cooper!! Close Quote

Open Quote The teachers are devoted to learning and are very hard working. My children excelled here after moving many times with the military. There have been an influx of students, affecting the scores on the school, but the knowledge for my kids has been wonderful. Close Quote
