GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have went to Georgetown my whole life. It has been fine, the sports are intense. Covid effected my high school years so I didn't get the whole experience.

The best part about Georgetown Ridge Farm is the way the teachers like to be involved in everything we do. They always want to do stuff with the students and make sure they are having fun while also doing work. The worst thing is the lack of energy in our school and school spirit. That is also one thing I would like to see change.

I liked the teachers and the opportunity for college express and dual enrollment. The staff has always been there when someone needed to talk and the majority of teachers are always willing to help you with your struggles in class. The principle was nice and treated everyone with respect.

This school is the worst high school I have ever seen. They teachers are rude and lazy. They do not challenge you so it is very hard to be successful in collage. Bulling is very bad here and the teachers do nothing about it. If your transferring to a new school do NOT go here.
