Q: Is Windsor Forest High School a good school?

Windsor Forest High School ranks 334 th of 458 Georgia high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Windsor Forest High School is a public high school in Savannah, Georgia, serving 1,012 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Savannah-Chatham County School District, which is ranked 128 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Savannah-Chatham County district, Windsor Forest High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 8 years. The school's graduation rates, ranging from 87.3% to 92.4% over the past 5 years, remain below the state average and lower than some nearby schools like Savannah Early College High School and Woodville-Tompkins Technical and Career High School, which consistently rank in the top 100 high schools in Georgia. Windsor Forest High School's test scores on the Georgia Milestones Assessments are also significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas.

Factors that may contribute to Windsor Forest High School's lower performance include its high poverty rates, ranging from 58.12% to 72.13% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 15.7 over the past 3 years. In contrast, nearby high-performing schools like Savannah Early College High School and Woodville-Tompkins Technical and Career High School offer specialized programs that may contribute to their success. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and specialized programs could be key to improving outcomes at Windsor Forest High School.

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.
