Windsor Forest Elementary School

Q: Is Windsor Forest Elementary School a good school?

Windsor Forest Elementary School ranks 929 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Windsor Forest Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 475 students in grades PK-5 in Savannah, Georgia, which is part of the Savannah-Chatham County School District. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages, ranking in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools.

Windsor Forest Elementary School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 75-78%, suggesting a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. Despite spending more per student ($12,689 in 2018-2019) than nearby schools, the academic outcomes do not reflect this higher level of funding.

In comparison, the nearby Isle of Hope School, Georgetown School, and Hesse School generally outperform Windsor Forest Elementary School on the Milestones Assessments, with higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. This long-term trend of underperformance at Windsor Forest Elementary School suggests the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for the students.

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.
