Summary:
The 31406 zip code area of Savannah, Georgia is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools in this area, with significant disparities in academic achievement that may be linked to socioeconomic factors.
The standout schools in this area are The STEM Academy at Bartlett, a middle school that consistently ranks among the top 100 middle schools in Georgia, and Hesse School, a PK-8 school that also performs well, ranking in the top half of Georgia elementary schools. These schools have significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages across multiple subjects. In contrast, White Bluff Elementary, Isle of Hope School, and Largo-Tibet Elementary struggle with low proficiency rates.
The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage, as measured by free/reduced lunch eligibility, ranging from 46.05% at The STEM Academy to 87.92% at Largo-Tibet Elementary. This suggests that many students in this area face significant challenges outside of the classroom that may impact their academic performance. Additionally, the relatively low district ranking (128 out of 203) and 2-star rating for the Savannah-Chatham County school district indicates room for improvement in overall educational quality and outcomes.
