Summary

Jo Ann Ford Elementary is a high-performing K-5 school in Georgetown, TX, serving 504 students and consistently ranking among the top 10% of elementary schools in Texas, with a current 91st percentile ranking for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional and consistent academic performance, dramatically outperforming both the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd) and state averages in reading and math. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency at Jo Ann Ford is 74%, compared to the district average of 44% and state average of 44%. This level of success is more aligned with schools in the neighboring Liberty Hill Independent School District (Isd), such as Rancho Sienna Elementary (90th percentile), than with many of its Georgetown ISD peers. In contrast, nearby schools like Frost Elementary (44th percentile) and Pat Cooper Elementary (21st percentile) have struggled to maintain similar performance levels. The school also shows a strong upward trend in supporting special education students, moving from the 48th percentile to the 75th percentile in recent years.

While Jo Ann Ford excels in reading and math, its 5th grade science scores, though above district and state averages, are lower than its other subjects. This is a widespread issue across the region, not unique to this school. The school serves a relatively affluent population, with only 14.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly lower than the district average. This demographic context helps explain the stark contrast with its closest neighbor, Village Elementary (74th percentile, 42.59% free/reduced lunch), just 1.12 miles away, highlighting how school performance can vary dramatically within a small geographic area.
