Original Research by School Decision on Anne Mason Elementary School
Anne Mason Elementary School is a regular public school serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Georgetown, Kentucky, part of the Scott County district. It sits in a city that blends historic character with heavy manufacturing—Toyota’s massive auto plant is the defining employer—and has seen rapid population growth since the plant arrived decades ago. The school’s enrollment, modest for an elementary serving six grade levels, reflects a community that is predominantly white, with the next largest groups being students who identify as two or more races and Hispanic students, followed by Black students and a small share of Asian and American Indian or Alaska Native students. About half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school in the middle range of economic need compared to other public schools in its region. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available, so a parent seeking that profile would want to ask the school directly.
State assessment results, drawn from Kentucky’s summative tests for grades three through five, paint a mixed picture. The strongest showing came in fifth-grade reading, where a large majority of students met the state’s proficiency bar. Fourth-grade reading was more modest, with a little under half of students proficient, and third-grade reading fell in a similar range. Math performance was more uneven. Fifth-grade math saw half of students proficient, which is a solid result. Third-grade math was lower, with fewer than half proficient, and fourth-grade math was the weakest area, with about a quarter of students reaching proficiency. In science, tested only in fourth grade, the share of students scoring proficient was modest, around the same level as fourth-grade math. Fifth-grade social studies showed a little over two-fifths of students proficient. The pattern suggests that while the school achieves strong reading results for its oldest students, math in the middle elementary years, particularly fourth grade, is an area a family may want to explore further with the school.
Because this is an elementary school, there is no graduation rate, and the school does not offer high school programs such as Advanced Placement or career pathways. No information was available on chronic absenteeism, discipline rates, staffing ratios, or course access, which are common gaps for elementary schools in this data set. The school is part of the Scott County district, which also includes other elementary, middle, and high schools, but the data available here only covers this one campus.
The broader community context matters for families considering this school. Georgetown has grown substantially since the mid-1980s, when Toyota selected it for its first wholly owned American plant, and the population has roughly tripled over that period. The district has opened new schools to keep pace, including a high school and an elementary school in recent years, though no information was available about whether Anne Mason itself was part of those expansions or has seen facility changes. Housing values in the area are above the statewide average, and rents also run higher, reflecting demand driven by the auto industry and the city’s location on the I-75 corridor between Lexington and Cincinnati. The downtown core near Georgetown College offers some walkability, but most of the city is auto-dependent, including the residential subdivisions where Anne Mason’s families likely live. Major employers beyond Toyota include the school district itself, Adient, a hospital, and a network of auto suppliers. For a family, this is a school set in a growing, manufacturing-anchored community where academic results are strongest in upper elementary reading, and where the middle elementary math scores suggest a need for attention.
