Summary

Bloomingdale Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Savannah, Georgia, with an enrollment of 331 students. The school is part of the Savannah-Chatham County School District, which is ranked 127 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student ($12,230 in 2018-2019) than the district average, Bloomingdale Elementary has consistently underperformed the Savannah-Chatham County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 24.4% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 26.2% for the district and 34.9% for the state. The school also has very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching over 81% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the district.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Savannah-Chatham County district, such as Godley Station School and New Hampstead K-8 School, both of which are within a 5-mile radius, Bloomingdale Elementary performs significantly worse. Additionally, when compared to high-performing schools in the Effingham County district, such as Sand Hill Elementary, South Effingham Elementary, and Marlow Elementary, the contrast in academic outcomes highlights the importance of factors beyond just funding in driving student success.
