Myers Middle School

Summary:

Myers Middle School is a public middle school located in Savannah, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 461 students. The school is part of the Savannah-Chatham County School District, which is ranked 128 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Myers Middle School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Georgia, with a statewide ranking between 520-562 out of 539-588 middle schools over the past 10 years. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years, indicating very poor academic performance. Its proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are significantly lower than the Savannah-Chatham County and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 1.6% in 8th grade Science to 21.5% in 8th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 25.6% and 44.7%, respectively. Additionally, Myers Middle School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.95% to 90.67% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Myers Middle School to other nearby schools in the Savannah-Chatham County district, it becomes clear that Myers is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. For example, The STEM Academy at Bartlett, which is located just 3.72 miles away, consistently outperforms Myers Middle School across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates that are 2-3 times higher than Myers. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Myers Middle School, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
