Original Research by School Decision on Step - Core
STEP - CORE is an alternative middle school in Georgetown, operated by Hutto ISD. The school is currently inactive and no longer enrolling students. Because the school is not operating, enrollment data, state assessment results, graduation rates, discipline records, attendance metrics, and other operational measures are not available.
The school's address is listed in the Wilco Way area of Georgetown. Georgetown itself is a fast-growing community anchored by a walkable historic downtown square and known for late Victorian commercial architecture. The city has experienced rapid residential expansion, with major new housing developments in the pipeline and significant infrastructure investment underway. Southwestern University sits just east of downtown, and the broader area benefits from proximity to tech employers along the I-35 corridor toward Austin.
Hutto ISD, the parent district, is managing substantial enrollment growth and has undertaken major capital projects to respond. In May 2023, voters approved a bond of considerable size—the largest in district history—to fund two new elementary schools, a second comprehensive high school (Creekside High School), campus expansions, and instructional technology. The district also completed the Gus Almquist Middle School. District enrollment is projected to nearly double by the early 2030s. These expansions represent lasting shifts in capacity and attendance zones that affect families considering the district.
Because STEP - CORE is no longer active, it cannot serve as a pathway option for students. Parents and residents seeking middle school alternatives in the district would need to contact Hutto ISD directly to understand what alternative or specialized programs are currently available.
