Annie Purl EL

About Schools in Georgetown, Texas

Georgetown, Texas runs 23 ranked public schools through Georgetown ISD, averaging 6.2 out of 10. That sits in the middle tier nationally, but the distribution tells a more useful story: 11 of those 23 schools — 48 percent — score 7 or higher, meaning nearly half the system performs above average. Parents choosing between Georgetown neighborhoods have real options, and the top end of the district pulls well clear of the city mean.

The strongest performer is Douglas Benold Middle School, scoring 8.4 out of 10 — the highest mark in Georgetown and more than two full points above the district average. On the elementary side, Raye McCoy El and Jo Ann Ford El both score 8.0, making them standouts in a grade band that often shows the widest spread between schools. Charles A Forbes Middle follows at 7.7, giving families two solid middle school options. Carver El rounds out the top five at 7.5. Together, these five schools set a high ceiling for what the district can deliver.

Middle school is a particular strength here. Both Benold and Forbes clear the 7-point threshold, which is not a given in fast-growing suburban districts where middle grades frequently lag behind well-resourced elementaries. Families planning several years ahead have two credible options at that level rather than one.

The 6.2 district average signals real variation below the top tier — roughly half the schools score under 7. School assignment and boundary lines matter more here than in uniformly strong districts. Parents comparing neighborhoods should check individual school scores rather than relying on the city average. Georgetown's overall picture is solid: a 48 percent above-average rate and an 8.4-scoring top school show the district is capable, with enough high-performing campuses spread across grade levels to give families meaningful choice at every stage.
