Savannah Classical Academy Charter High School

Summary:

Savannah Classical Academy Charter High School is a public charter high school in Savannah, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 72. The school is part of the Savannah-Chatham County school district, which is ranked 128 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Savannah Classical Academy Charter High School has demonstrated strong academic performance in certain areas, particularly in Algebra I and Biology, where it has significantly outperformed the Savannah-Chatham County and Georgia averages on Milestones Assessments. However, the school's performance has been variable, and it has not consistently outperformed nearby traditional public high schools like Islands High School and Johnson High School. The school's low spending per student, ranging from $2,035 to $2,523, is significantly lower than the nearby traditional public high schools, which spend between $7,423 and $12,041 per student.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Savannah Classical Academy Charter High School, ranging from 72.22% to 79.63%, suggests the school serves a population with a relatively low socioeconomic status. This may be a significant factor in the academic performance of the school, as well as the nearby traditional public high schools in the Savannah-Chatham County district. Another charter school in the district, Savannah Early College High School, has consistently outperformed Savannah Classical Academy Charter High School on Milestones Assessments and has a higher statewide ranking, indicating that the charter school model alone does not guarantee superior academic performance.

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.
