What stands out about Georgetown ISD

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +7.0% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Texas's statewide +10.1% by 3.1 points, a growth rate faster than 32% of the 1,015 Texas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 11.9% here, from 11,759 students in FY2019 to 13,155 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $26,545 is among the highest in the nation.
