Savannah-Chatham E-Learning Academy

Summary:

Savannah-Chatham E-Learning Academy is an alternative public school serving grades 1-12 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. The school has 760 students enrolled.

Despite having a better student-teacher ratio than the nearby School of Humanities at Juliette Gordon Low, Savannah-Chatham E-Learning Academy consistently underperforms the Savannah-Chatham County and Georgia state averages on Milestones Assessment tests, with only 24.4% proficiency in American Literature and Composition compared to 34.6% for the county and 42% for the state. The school also has very high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 61.45% to 67.93% over the past 3 school years, significantly higher than the surrounding district.

These challenges in academic performance and high poverty rates are not unique to Savannah-Chatham E-Learning Academy, as the nearby School of Humanities at Juliette Gordon Low, another alternative school in the same district, also has similarly low test scores and high poverty rates. This suggests that the issues faced by Savannah-Chatham E-Learning Academy may be systemic within the Savannah-Chatham County school district, requiring a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for all students.

Open Quote For the 1st few years, as long as a student was getting As & Bs, they could work independently. Since my child has ASD, working at her own pace is what she needs. She actually worked faster & was always getting As & Bs. Then for the 22-23 school year, she was forced to attend all classes regardless of grades. What made it an issue is she was completing her work faster than everyone else, so she'd sit with nothing to do and one teacher, who taught 2 of her classes, complained to me about her reading a book/not paying attention. I've watched many zooms, 90 of them are teachers yelling at students. So I told my kid to just do the next days work. Then the teacher started marking her absent for days where she had no work to do but was still in the zoom. Who marks a kid absent for finishing their work too fast? That teacher also didn't care about the special accommodations needed for a child with ASD, which is an ADA-protected disability. Close Quote

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.
