Summary

Bloomingdale Elementary School in Savannah, GA, serves about 350 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Savannah-Chatham County district, a school that has shown steady improvement in recent years and now holds a 2-star rating.

One of the most impressive stories at Bloomingdale is its dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism. The rate has fallen from 24.6% in 2022-2023 to just 9.2% today—far better than the district average of 16.6% and the state average of 17.7%. This means your child is much more likely to be in class consistently here than at many nearby schools, including New Hampstead K-8 School (21.3%) or Southwest Elementary School (18.0%). Academically, the school shows a clear pattern: 3rd grade scores lag behind district averages, but by 4th and 5th grade, students often catch up or surpass them. For example, 5th grade math proficiency (39.6%) exceeds the district (33.2%), and 5th grade science (39.5%) beats both the district (35.8%) and comes close to the state average. This suggests strong upper-grade instruction that helps students grow.

Bloomingdale also stands out for its high per-student spending of $24,483—significantly more than nearby Godley Station School ($15,372) or Southwest Elementary ($15,546). This investment, combined with a favorable 11.2:1 student-teacher ratio, appears to be paying off in attendance and upper-grade gains. While the school's overall ranking (42nd percentile) is middling, it outperforms several neighbors like Coastal Empire Montessori Charter School and Gould Elementary School. The school's upward trajectory—from the 25th percentile a few years ago to its current standing—suggests a positive direction, though there is still work to do to match top performers like Marlow Elementary School in Effingham County.
