Summary:
In zip code 78628, there is one middle school, James Tippit Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Georgetown, Texas, as part of the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd).
James Tippit Middle is a school on a clear upward trajectory, improving its state ranking from the 43rd percentile to the 57th percentile over three years. Its standout strength is mathematics, particularly in advanced Algebra I, where 76.62% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—far exceeding the district's 48.29% and the state's 54.03%. The school also excels in 7th and 8th grade math, with proficiency rates of 46.3% and 49.05% respectively, both outperforming district and state averages. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 and a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, the school provides a supportive environment for its 728 students, 43.13% of whom are economically disadvantaged.
However, performance is uneven across subjects. Social Studies is a persistent weakness, with only 26.61% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026, below both district and state averages. Reading scores are mixed, with 7th grade reading showing a notable "slump" at 50.19% proficiency, trailing the state average. Additionally, some scores show significant year-over-year volatility, such as 7th grade math jumping from 24.27% to 46.3% proficiency, while 6th grade math dropped from 32.88% to 24.54%. This suggests that while the school excels in accelerating advanced math students, targeted interventions are needed in Social Studies and 7th grade reading to ensure consistent success across all subjects.
