Summary

Georgetown School is a public PK-8 school in Savannah, GA, serving 544 students within the Savannah-Chatham County district.

Georgetown School has shown remarkable improvement over the past five years, climbing from the 24th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 64th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. The school's standout strength is mathematics, where proficiency rates consistently exceed district and state averages. For example, 8th-grade math proficiency reached 55.9% in 2025-2026, compared to 31.7% for the district and 46.3% for the state. The Algebra I End of Course exam is particularly impressive, with 89.4% of students proficient versus 32.8% for the district. This math success is complemented by excellent attendance—the chronic absenteeism rate of 9.5% is nearly half the district rate (16.6%) and well below the state average (17.7%). The school also performs strongly for specific student groups, ranking in the 66th percentile statewide for African American students and 68th percentile for female students.

Compared to nearby schools, Georgetown stands out as a high achiever within its district. Its state rank (438th) far surpasses Gould Elementary (837th), White Bluff Elementary (1110th), and Southwest Elementary (1021st). Even Pulaski Elementary, which serves a similar PK-8 range, ranks lower at 841st. While schools in the neighboring Bryan County district like McAllister Elementary (97th percentile) and Dr. George Washington Carver Elementary (84th percentile) have higher overall rankings, Georgetown's middle school math performance rivals or exceeds state averages despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. One area for potential focus is elementary science, where 5th-grade proficiency (26.7%) trails district and state averages, though 8th-grade science (52.5%) more than doubles the district average.
