Summary

Susie King Taylor Community School is a public charter elementary school serving 309 students in grades K-8 in Savannah, Georgia. The school is part of the Savannah-Chatham County school district, which is ranked 127 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite higher-than-average spending of $12,461 to $17,601 per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 14.0, Susie King Taylor Community School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools over the past 5 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the Savannah-Chatham County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas on the Milestones Assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 26.2% for the district and 34.9% statewide.

The nearby elementary schools, such as Butler, Jacob G. Smith, and Gadsden, also struggle academically but generally outperform Susie King Taylor Community School. The one exception is Savannah Classical Academy Charter School, which is located less than a mile from Susie King Taylor and consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with 4-5 star ratings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that a high-quality charter school model can produce strong results even in a high-poverty area.

Horrible communication all around! No way of seeing upcoming assignments so you can keep your child on track, no update on progress until it's Almost too late... Then when you email someone it takes Days for them to respond. Really Wanted to like this school but.... Close Quote

Wonderful teachers who keep the school together. Without them, the school would fall apart. Very disorganized at their school board level and at the administration level. Close Quote
