How Georgetown Elementary School compares with Illinois and U.S. medians
What stands out at Georgetown Elementary School
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Georgetown Elementary School is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among Illinois schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Georgetown Elementary School's 31.9% chronic-absence rate is more consequential than a generic staffing label: at least one quarter of students missed 10% or more of school days in the 2021-22 collection. That level can affect instruction, counseling demand, and continuity even when other reported resources look ordinary. The dataset records the scale of absence but not its causes, so it should prompt a current-year question rather than a conclusion about school management.
Georgetown Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in Aurora, Illinois, enrolling 420 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 11.4:1 puts it in the smaller third of Illinois schools by student-teacher ratio.
With 420 students, its enrollment sits close to the Illinois median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 3,845 scored Illinois schools.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (46%) and African American (21%), more mixed than most schools in the state (diversity index 69/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 31.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Among Aurora's elementary schools, it stands alongside Gwendolyn Brooks Elementary (683 students): Georgetown Elementary School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (11.4:1 vs 16.3:1).
