Summary

Pulaski Elementary School in Savannah, GA, is a large PK-8 school serving about 1,147 students in the Savannah-Chatham County district, where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of Pulaski’s standout strengths is its exceptional support for students with special needs. The school ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide for Special Education students and the 77th percentile for English Language Learners—both 4-star ratings that far exceed its overall 31st percentile ranking. This means the school has developed highly effective, targeted interventions for these groups, even as it works to lift achievement across the broader student body. Another bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped dramatically from 21.2% to 13.8% in a single year, now better than both the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. That improvement is especially notable when compared to nearby Haven Elementary School (29.4%) and White Bluff Elementary School (21.5%).

However, Pulaski faces a clear challenge in its middle school grades. Math proficiency drops sharply from 32.8% in 5th grade to just 19.0% in 6th grade, and stays in the high teens through 8th grade. This decline is steeper than at Georgetown School, another PK-8 school that maintains math scores above 40% in middle school. The school’s overall ranking has also slipped from the 59th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026. Still, Pulaski outperforms Gould Elementary School and Hodge Elementary School despite spending less per student ($16,336 vs. over $20,000), and its 5th grade science scores (38%) exceed the district average (35.8%). For parents, Pulaski offers strong specialized support and improving attendance, but the middle school transition is an area to watch closely.
