Summary

Tybee Island Maritime Academy School is a K-8 school in Tybee Island, GA, serving 432 students within the Savannah-Chatham County district. This school stands out as a high performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 87th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement given that the district itself ranks in the 42nd percentile.

In math, Tybee Island Maritime Academy excels across every grade level. For example, 3rd graders hit 75% proficiency (compared to 39.7% district-wide), and 8th graders reached 67.4% (versus 31.7% district-wide). Most striking, 100% of students taking Algebra I passed the end-of-course exam, while the district average was just 32.8%. Science is another strength, with 60.5% of 8th graders proficient—more than double the district's 22.7%. The school also keeps students in class: its chronic absenteeism rate is 9.8%, far below the district's 16.6% and the state's 17.7%. While English Language Arts scores are not yet available for this release, the school's overall trajectory has been steadily climbing from the 69th percentile in 2020-2021 to its current 87th percentile.

Compared to nearby schools, Tybee Island Maritime Academy holds its own. It ranks just below Savannah Classical Academy Charter School (88th percentile) but above May Howard Elementary School (82nd percentile). Its K-8 configuration offers continuity that elementary-only schools like May Howard can't match. The school also operates efficiently, spending $15,748 per student—far less than Savannah Classical's $24,894 or May Howard's $22,123—while achieving superior results. One area for growth is 8th grade social studies (47.6% proficiency), though it still beats the district's 26.4%. With strong math, science, attendance, and a cost-effective model, this school is a standout option for families seeking academic excellence in the Savannah area.
