Summary

Windsor Forest High School is a comprehensive public high school in Savannah, GA, serving 1,069 students in grades 9–12 within the Savannah-Chatham County district, where about 75% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Windsor Forest currently ranks in the bottom quintile of Georgia high schools (385th out of 455, 1 star), a decline from its 334th-place ranking two years ago. The school's graduation rate has fallen from 92.4% in 2020–2021 to 81.2% in 2024–2025, now below both the district and state averages of 87.2%. Test scores trail significantly: only 14.5% of students are proficient in Algebra I (compared to 48.1% statewide), 22.7% in Biology (state: 47.2%), and 23.7% in U.S. History (state: 38.5%). Biology is the school's relative strength, with a smaller gap to the state average than other subjects. The most encouraging sign is chronic absenteeism, which dropped dramatically from 53.9% in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 to 24.4% in 2025–2026—still above the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages, but a major improvement that could lead to better outcomes if sustained.

Windsor Forest sits in a district with a stark divide. Nearby selective and career schools achieve exceptional results: Savannah Classical Academy Charter High School ranks 5th in the state with 95.6% Algebra I proficiency, Woodville-Tompkins Technical and Career High School ranks 9th (89.6%), and Savannah Arts Academy ranks 25th (52.8%). Meanwhile, Windsor Forest and other neighborhood comprehensive schools like Beach High (376th) and Johnson High (329th) struggle. Notably, Windsor Forest's per-student spending of $16,462 is comparable to top performers like Savannah Early College High School ($18,236) and Woodville-Tompkins ($16,430), suggesting that funding alone doesn't explain the outcome gap—school culture, student selection, and program focus likely matter more. The recent attendance improvement is the school's most promising signal for reversing its downward trajectory.
