School of Humanities at Juliette Gordon Low

Summary:

The School of Humanities at Juliette Gordon Low is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Savannah, Georgia, 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. With 665 students and an average student-teacher ratio of 14.7, the school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, high poverty concentration, and underperformance compared to nearby schools.

The school's academic performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, is significantly lower than the Savannah-Chatham County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 30.7% in the district and 38.4% statewide. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.25% to 90.53% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In comparison, the nearby Savannah-Chatham E-Learning Academy, while also part of the Savannah-Chatham County district, has significantly higher academic performance. For example, in 2023-2024, 42.9% of 5th graders at the E-Learning Academy were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to only 21.2% at the School of Humanities. This suggests that the School of Humanities may need to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the district to address its challenges and improve student 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.
