Summary

Frances Meeks Elementary School in Richmond Hill, GA, serves 908 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly rated Bryan County School District, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 91st percentile statewide.

Frances Meeks is a consistently high-performing school, maintaining a 5-star rating for six consecutive years and ranking in the top 10% of all Georgia elementary schools. In the most recent testing cycle, the school significantly outperformed state averages in math and science—for example, 82% of 4th graders scored proficient in math, a 32-point advantage over the state average. The school also excels in supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for that subgroup. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 9.6%, roughly half the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 allows for personalized attention. While the school's state ranking has slipped slightly from its peak of 73rd in 2022-2023 to 114th in 2025-2026, it remains firmly among Georgia's elite elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Frances Meeks stands out academically. Its math and science proficiency rates are 30-50 points higher than many schools in the nearby Savannah-Chatham County district, such as White Bluff Elementary and Pulaski Elementary. However, within its own district, McAllister Elementary—serving a similar demographic—achieves even higher scores, particularly in 5th grade math (85.3% vs. 68%) and science (82.9% vs. 69.9%). Frances Meeks also spends more per student ($13,167) than McAllister ($11,430), yet trails in those upper-grade results. The school's strongest performance is in 4th grade, while 3rd grade is its relative weak point. Additionally, female students outperform male students, with girls ranking in the 92nd percentile and boys in the 88th percentile statewide.
