Rezoning on horizon for Georgetown ISD Georgetown ISD is preparing to rezone students in anticipation of San Gabriel Ele- mentary School and the new Benold Middle School opening in the fall of 2024. What's happening? During a Nov. 6 workshop, board members heard an initial presentation from district staff about jump-starting the process to create attendance zones for the two new schools coming online for the 2024-25 school year. Next steps Tentative timelines show final drafts of the rezoning maps are expected to be shared in the coming weeks, officials said, after campus committees have had a chance to weigh in.
Some district schools near, surpass capacity Seven Georgetown ISD campuses are at or near capacity, per a district demographics report released in October. What you need to know Data released by the U.S. Census Bureau in May showed Georgetown is the fastest-growing city in the country with a population of more than 50,000 residents—and that stretch is being felt at the campus level. According to the report from Temple- ton Demographics, Cooper, Mitchell, Williams and Wolf Ranch elementary schools; Tippit and Wagner middle schools; and East View High School have student populations that are at or near capacity. This comes as the district has reached what Superintendent Devin Padavil has described as a “critical” point of growth. The district began the 2023-24 school year with 600 more students than in the 2022-23 school year.
