Georgetown High School, Georgetown | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Georgetown highschool has a wonderful curriculum and some amazing teachers and can be a good place to learn if you’ve been there for the entire four years. But even with being there for the whole time you can still be secluded from groups and bullied. Georgetown highschool is one of those schools where everyone knows everyone since elementary school. Out of a class of 471 students 280 were in the district since kindergarten and 380 were in since middle school. The downfall to this “small town” feeling is that new students are very much so left out. Being a military child I don’t stay in one school for to long and out of the four highschools I’ve been to this is one of the worst highschools (socially) I’ve ever been to. I moved here for my senior year and I did my best to “fit” in, I joined 2 school clubs and branched out and spoke to people and I was still shot down and singled out. In which made me just want to crawl back into my shell and be quiet ( anyone who knows me knows I’m a very outgoing and loud person). After almost an entire semester of trying to make friends I gave up and just focused ony studies distract me from the whispers I would hear about me going around. After a while I stopped trying, I just came to school and would go almost an entire day without speaking and no one noticed. I was depressed, I sat and listened to people say how senior year was the greatest year ever and I’m just sitting alone. When my second semester started up I started to try again and this time it was easier because both of my groups were becoming more active and I just spent all my spare time doing what ever I could. I even made a T shirt design for one to try and maybe break some ice. I soon found out that I might have just been better off staying quiet. There was another student (one whom had been at the school and in the group longer than I), who had a design and the group was to vote on which they liked most. Needless to say communication lines had been mixed up and I ended up being the one who “screwed” up and in the end was singled out. All the people I had finally gotten to let me sit with and speak with had now decided that I wasn’t worth their time and told me I was no longer welcome at their table. At this point I have two more months left of school and I thought nothing could make this year more terrible. But then yearbooks came out, and at this point I’m not interested in keeping anything to remember this school. Well two weeks pass with yearbooks out, and I’m entering my fourth period with a few students and this one student comes in chuckling and says looks at me and says I can’t believe they did that to you in the year book. I looked blankly and asked what and she proceeded to show me my club picture and everyone’s names and then four question marks for mine. I’ve spent my whole year trying to make friends and to fit and I’m leaving not only with the feeling of not being wanted but a yearbook page with the proof for everyone to see that I didn’t fit in.

Terrible school, feels more like a preschool than a high school, you literally can’t do anything, they don’t let you leave the cafeteria even to go to the library. As a senior if you exempt all your finals they still make you show up to do nothing for 8 hours. This schools administration is terrible, except for the principal Mr. Vanicek he is the only one who is good at their jobs, send your kids anywhere but this school, because it will be the worst 4 years of their lives.

Staff members are not friendly. Last Tuesday, I was yelled at by some employee after dropping off trash bags in the front. I understandably confused it with the municipal dump, as anyone familiar with the building would agree. Two stars because? they did end up taking my trash.
