About GISD
Georgetown
Independent School District seeks to empower students to become life-long
learners and leaders by providing quality education and superior schooling.
Our schools and our teachers have been recognized as some of the best in Texas and the nation. Strong parental involvement and community support for our schools remains the basis for the quality education GISD seeks to provide to all students.
Located
in Georgetown, Texas, GISD serves a diverse population of Williamson County
students from pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade. The District serves
elementary students in three PreK-2 campuses, three 3-5 campuses, and three
K-5 campuses. Secondary students attend one of three middle schools and a ninth-grade
campus before attending the district's high school. An alternative high
school campus serves students who participate in a self-paced general curricular
program toward a high school diploma or GED certificate. For more information
about our schools, visit the School Profiles
page.
The District is administered by a superintendent and administrative staff located in the central administration offices. Policy decisions and administrative suggestions are made by the Board of Trustees, who are elected by the community.
The
District is fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency. During their most
recent visit, members of TEA commended the District for individual teacher
excellence, including good daily lesson planning, good classroom organization,
and above-average student test scores, and recognized the student body as
well for good behavior.
Georgetown
ISD has been involved in strategic
planning for the past three years. Over 150 members of the community along
with teachers, students, parents, administrators, and school board members
participated in an original comprehensive assessment of the district and made
recommendations to the Board of Trustees to ensure each campus in the district
continues to provide a quality education to every student well into the 21st
century.
