Summary

Marshpoint Elementary School in Savannah, GA, serves 603 students from Pre-K through 5th grade on Whitemarsh Island and has earned a 4-star rating, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement within the Savannah-Chatham County district, which sits in the 42nd percentile.

Marshpoint's academic performance is exceptional compared to both its district and the state. In the most recent testing cycle, math proficiency rates were 68.8% for 3rd grade, 75.1% for 4th grade, and 58.8% for 5th grade—outpacing district averages by 20 to 33 percentage points. Fifth-grade science proficiency reached 63.6%, far exceeding the district's 35.8%. The school also stands out for its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.2%, less than half the district rate of 16.6% and a dramatic improvement from 15.1% just three years ago. This steady decline suggests effective attendance initiatives and strong family engagement. While current English Language Arts scores are not yet available for this cycle, historical data shows Marshpoint has consistently exceeded state averages, with 4th grade ELA proficiency at 68.2% in the prior year.

Marshpoint's success is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools. It outperforms Heard Elementary, Isle of Hope School, and Shuman Elementary, all of which have higher economic disadvantage rates yet lower academic rankings. Its closest comparable neighbor, May Howard Elementary, is also a 4-star school, but Marshpoint has been trending upward while May Howard has slipped slightly. Interestingly, Marshpoint achieves these results while spending $19,637 per student—less than several lower-performing nearby schools, including Savannah Classical Academy Charter School ($24,894) and May Howard ($22,123). This efficiency, combined with a consistent upward trajectory over the past seven years, positions Marshpoint as a model of sustained improvement within the district.

Sunday, October 25, 2015

Marshpoint has a wonder structured schedule with a great art, music, spanish and computer teacher. The primary classroom teachers do openly yell, use a whistle, and constantly call children out in front of their peers. There are several cliques of teachers who have worked together for several years that tend to spend time out in the halls gossiping about each other. The parapro's have lunchroom duty and it should be a time the children can socialize with each other. The children are screamed at constantly during this time and when the music stops playing and the children begin to talk to each other, a teacher will turned the music back on before it is timed to come on. Another concerning point is that the same children seem to be the ones to be in timeout or disciplined all the time. If your child is one who likes to talk and share, that will be the child constantly sitting at the desk with the head down. There is no time limit, it can go on for an hour or more while the class is doing work. This child is missing teaching time. The teachers do have a time for observation by the principal but it is known when that eval will happen and the teachers that I have witnessed being evaluated, orchestrate a different morning all together for the purpose of this eval. This is definitely not an environment for the child that is soft spoken and shy. The yelling and screamin goes on throughout the day by most of the staff the child comes in contact with. It does appear that the parents who are most visible and complain the most, get the right treatment for their child. Close Quote

We were very disappointed in this school. Our child had two old teachers that were burned out and did not seem to enjoy the children. One of the teachers repeatedly told the parents how she couldn't wait to retire. Our child is very intelligent but fell in the cracks due to the school's main focus on the special needs children. Worksheets (busy work) seemed to be the only work in the classroom while we had to teach the work at home. My child's teachers were very rude and mean and seemed to be bullying the children. This was a horrible experience for a young child to have to endure. Many times parents were discouraged from attending field trips and classroom parties and we felt we were not welcomed at this school. When we offered to help, we were treated rudely. We would not recommend Marshpoint Elementary School to anyone.
We have since enrolled our child in private school and it has been a wonderful experience for us and our child. She has been receiving a wonderful education and is treated with respect and kindness. She loves going to school now. Close Quote
