Summary

Charles A Forbes Middle in Georgetown, TX, serves 803 students in grades 6-8 within the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd) and is a school of striking contrasts, excelling in advanced math while struggling significantly with foundational skills for its most vulnerable students.

Forbes has a standout strength: its Algebra I program. An impressive 80% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam scored proficient, far outpacing the district average. This suggests a highly effective pipeline for advanced math, particularly for its Gifted and Talented students, who perform in the top 20% statewide. However, this success is overshadowed by a severe and persistent weakness in 6th-grade math, where only 12% of students are proficient—a deficit of over 26 percentage points compared to the state average. This foundational gap has been a consistent issue for four years. Furthermore, the school shows a stark equity gap, performing in the bottom 10% for low-income students and the bottom 5% for English Language Learners, indicating that support systems for these groups are not keeping pace.

Compared to nearby schools, Forbes sits in the middle of its district, outperforming George Wagner Middle but trailing James Tippit Middle. Its recent overall decline from the 56th to the 39th percentile is concerning, moving it closer to Wagner’s performance level. In contrast, James Garland Walsh Middle in the Round Rock Independent School District (Isd) is a top-tier school with reading and math scores often double those of Forbes. On a positive note, Forbes maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, showing it keeps students engaged even when academic proficiency is a challenge. For parents, this school offers a world-class advanced math track but requires careful attention to how it supports students who need foundational help, especially in 6th-grade math.
