An overview of Georgetown public schools
The federal directory lists 16 public schools in Georgetown, KY: 8 elementary, 3 middle, 4 high, 1 combined or other. The 16 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 9,412 students, an average of 588 per school. The largest campus is Great Crossing High School (1,677 students), and the largest elementary school is Western Elementary School (623).
Every listed school belongs to Scott County. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 14.2:1, lower than the statewide school median of 15:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
Among 3 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 2 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 1 of 3 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.
About 50% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
