Summary:
SAIL Charter Academy - School for Arts-Infused Learning is the sole elementary school in the State Specialty Schools II- SAIL Charter Academy - School fo district, serving grades K-8 with 554 students in Evans, GA. This single-school district has climbed from the 57th to the 68th percentile in state rankings over the past two years, showing steady improvement.
The school’s standout strength is advanced mathematics: its Algebra I proficiency rate of 81.3% crushes the state average of 48.1%, and 6th-grade math proficiency (62.8%) exceeds the state by 22.1 percentage points. Middle school science is also strong, with 8th-grade proficiency at 44.4% versus the state’s 29.7%. However, performance is uneven by grade and subject. In math, 3rd graders lag the state by 8.6 points, but by 4th grade the school matches the state average, and from 5th grade onward it consistently outperforms. The most recent ELA data (2024-2025) shows a mixed picture: the school beats state averages in grades 4, 5, 7, and 8, but 6th-grade ELA trails by 10 points (31.3% vs. 41.3%). The biggest concern is 8th-grade social studies, where only 19.5% of students are proficient—less than half the state’s 40.2%.
Operationally, the school excels at keeping students engaged: chronic absenteeism is just 8.1%, less than half the state’s 17.7%, and the 13:1 student-teacher ratio supports individualized attention. Per-student spending of $12,496 appears well-utilized given the strong STEM results. For parents, this school offers exceptional math and science preparation, particularly in middle school, but they should be aware of the social studies gap and the 6th-grade ELA dip. The consistent year-over-year ranking improvement and low absenteeism suggest a school on an upward trajectory, making it a solid choice for families prioritizing advanced math and science education.
