Summary

Gould Elementary School is a public elementary school in Savannah, Georgia, serving 887 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Savannah-Chatham County School District, which is ranked 127 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gould Elementary School consistently performs below the Savannah-Chatham County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.8% of 3rd graders, 22.4% of 4th graders, and 22.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 26.2%, 31.9%, and 32.4% for the district, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.25% to 85.46%, which is significantly higher than the district average.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,931 to $10,525, and low student-teacher ratio, Gould Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Jacob G. Smith Elementary School, Gould Elementary School is clearly underperforming, with significantly lower proficiency rates in core academic subjects. The factors contributing to Gould Elementary School's challenges in improving student outcomes warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to provide a better educational experience for its students.

A school that supports the students, parents, and teachers for continued success in all areas. Kind and supportive environment. Close Quote

Severe bullying issue, complete lack of supervision from the staff and absolutely poor ability to handle children. Worse experience ever! My children had to be removed from the school because of the threats of bodily harm from the other students. Close Quote
