Summary

Otis J Brock III Elementary School in Savannah, GA, serves 568 students in grades PK-5 within the Savannah-Chatham County district, where about 89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most encouraging news is the school’s steady upward climb. After ranking in the bottom 1-3% of Georgia elementary schools in 2020-2022, Brock has risen to the 23rd percentile in the latest rankings—a 20-point jump in just a few years. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped dramatically, from 43.1% in 2021-2022 to 27.1% now, showing real progress in getting kids to school consistently. Third grade math is a clear bright spot: 44.1% of third graders scored proficient, beating the district average of 39.7% and nearly matching the state’s 48.3%. This is a big improvement from just 20% proficiency a few years ago. The school also earns a 2-star rating specifically for its African American students (32nd percentile), which is stronger than its overall 1-star rating.

However, challenges remain. Fifth grade math proficiency sits at just 18.3%, and fifth grade science at 21.1%—both well below district and state averages. This gap between third and fifth grade performance suggests upper elementary grades need more support. Compared to nearby schools with similar demographics, Brock outperforms Andrea B Williams Elementary in math across all grades and beats Butler Elementary in third grade math (44.1% vs. 32.9%). Yet Savannah Classical Academy Charter School, serving a similar population, achieves far higher scores (64.9% in third grade math) while spending nearly $8,000 more per student. Brock’s per-student spending of $16,974 is lower than most nearby schools, suggesting it gets reasonable results for its funding. The school is clearly moving in the right direction, but sustaining momentum will require focused attention on upper grades and science.
