Summary

Windsor Forest Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 451 students in grades PK-5 in Savannah, Georgia, which is part of the Savannah-Chatham County School District. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Windsor Forest Elementary has ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years and maintains a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, which ranges from $11,613 to $12,689 annually, and a low student-teacher ratio of 9 to 10.6 students per teacher, Windsor Forest Elementary continues to struggle academically. When compared to nearby schools like Georgetown School and Hesse School, both within a 5-mile radius, Windsor Forest Elementary has significantly lower proficiency rates and school rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and student/family engagement, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.11% to 81.6% in recent years, Windsor Forest Elementary serves a student population facing significant economic disadvantages. The school's struggles to improve academic outcomes despite the higher per-student spending indicate that more targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to support the unique needs of the school's students and community.
