Georgetown Charter Academy, Georgetown TX

Original Research by School Decision on Georgetown Charter Academy

Georgetown Charter Academy is closed. The school, which operated as a middle grades charter under Priority Charter Schools, ceased operation in 2023 and no longer serves students in Georgetown.

Before its closure, the school enrolled a small student body in grades three through five. State assessment data from its final year of operation shows mixed results. In grade four, where the largest tested cohort appeared, proficiency in math and English language arts both reached the same level. The school's social studies proficiency in grade eight, from the year prior, was notably low. The tested cohorts across grades were very small, which limits the stability of any year-to-year comparisons.

Enrollment demographics, staffing details, attendance patterns, and other operational characteristics of the school were not reported in available data. The specific reasons behind the closure are not documented in the materials on hand.

For families in Georgetown seeking a school-choice option, the closure of Georgetown Charter Academy removed one charter enrollment pathway. Priority Charter Schools now operates only in Temple, Killeen, and Copperas Cove. Georgetown families are served by Georgetown Independent School District, which operates public schools across traditional grade configurations.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
