Education Statistics
GISD serves a diverse population of Williamson County students from pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade. The district serves elementary students in three PreK-2 campuses, three 3-5 campuses, and three K-5 campuses. Secondary students attend one of three middle schools and a ninth-grade campus before attending the district’s high school. An alternative high school campus serves students who participate in a self-paced general curricular program toward a high school diploma or GED certificate.
The District is fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency. During their most recent visit, members of TEA commended the District for individual teacher excellence, including good daily lesson planning, good classroom organization, and above-average student test scores, and recognized the student body as well for good behavior.
Georgetown ISD has been involved in strategic planning for the past three years. Over 150 members of the community along with teachers, students, parents, administrators, and school board members participated in an original comprehensive assessment of the district and made recommendations to the Board of Trustees to ensure each campus in the district continues to provide a quality education to every student well into the 21st century.
Texas annually rates its public schools and districts on the academic performance of their students. The TEA School Accountability ratings, instituted in 1993, judge the performance of each campus and district by administering a rating based on TAKS scores, previous TAAS scores, and the State-Developed Alternative Assessment (SDAA) scores. The SDAA test is for special education students. Completion rate, required improvement, and the dropout rate are also used to determine the campus and district ratings under the new ratings system. The 2007 rating for the entire district is acceptable.

Georgetown ISD schools serve a diverse and growing population of Williamson County students at 15 campuses and 3 alternative programs. The following table shows the student profile for the district as a whole and for each campus individually.
