Summary

Savannah Early College High School is a small, specialized public high school in Savannah, GA, serving 151 students in grades 9-12 within the Savannah-Chatham County district, where students can earn college credit while completing their diploma.

This school stands out for its remarkable consistency and strong outcomes. It has maintained a perfect 100% graduation rate for five consecutive years, far exceeding the district and state averages of 87.2%. In Biology, 87.1% of students scored proficient or above—nearly double the district rate and well above the state average. Chronic absenteeism is just 9.0%, compared to 16.6% district-wide and 17.7% statewide. The school also earns top marks for specific student groups, ranking #28 out of 376 schools statewide for African American students and #2 out of 431 for female students. With a 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio, students receive personalized attention in a tight-knit environment. The school's state ranking has stayed in the top 25% for eight straight years, currently sitting at #35 out of 455 Georgia high schools.

What makes this school especially compelling is its contrast with The School of Liberal Studies at Savannah High, which shares the same campus address but achieves vastly different results—79.1% graduation rate, 27.8% chronic absenteeism, and 25% Biology proficiency. Savannah Early College also holds its own against other selective schools like Savannah Arts Academy and Woodville-Tompkins Technical and Career High School, outperforming both in Biology. While Algebra I proficiency (42.1%) trails the state average, it has doubled in three years. Notably, the school achieves these results while serving a population where 60.9% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch—a testament to its effective early college model and dedicated staff.
