Expert Insight

Angie's Take

Angie Ufomata

Former teacher · 9 years in Round Rock ISD

Georgetown is where families go when they want a different pace without sacrificing school quality. Georgetown ISD has the feel of a small-town district — principals know students by name, parent involvement is high, and there’s genuine community pride. The academics are strong, and the cost of living is lower than Round Rock or Cedar Park. Families who prioritize community culture alongside test scores tend to love it here.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Georgetown too far from Austin to commute?

It depends on where you work. Georgetown is about 30 miles north of downtown Austin, which can mean 35–60+ minutes in traffic. Families with remote jobs or who work in the tech corridor (Round Rock/north Austin area) find the commute very manageable. The trade-off is a lower cost of living and a genuine small-town feel.

How does Georgetown ISD compare to Round Rock ISD?

Georgetown ISD is smaller and more community-oriented. Round Rock ISD has more program variety and larger school sizes. Both earn strong ratings. Georgetown families value the tight-knit culture; Round Rock families value the breadth of options. It comes down to what kind of school experience you want for your kids.
