Savannah-Chatham County

The Savannah-Chatham County school district in Georgia encompasses 58 schools, including 34 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 12 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with a range of academic performance across its schools.

Several schools stand out in the district, including Savannah Arts Academy, a high-performing high school with exceptional academic results and a 99.5% four-year graduation rate. Other top-performing schools include Islands High School, Woodville-Tompkins Technical and Career High School, and The STEM Academy at Bartlett, a middle school that ranks in the top 73 schools in the state.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the Savannah-Chatham County district, both within the district and compared to state averages. This suggests a need to address equity and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education, particularly in schools with higher poverty levels that tend to underperform their more affluent counterparts.
