Georgetown Middle School

Summary:

Georgetown Middle School is a public middle school serving 636 students in grades 6-8 in Georgetown, Kentucky, which is part of the Scott County School District. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic assessments, with only 25-41% of students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 42-46% for the district and 37-42% for the state.

Georgetown Middle School's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively well for African American students but struggling with Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status students. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. This is in contrast to the nearby Royal Spring Middle School and Scott County Middle School, which are part of the same district but significantly outperform Georgetown Middle School.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Georgetown Middle School, ranging from 53.77% to 60.57%, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Addressing the needs of this population and providing targeted support could be an important area of focus for the school as it works to improve educational outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
