Summary

Savannah-Chatham E-Learning Academy is a virtual alternative school in Savannah, GA, serving 441 students in grades 1 through 12 within the Savannah-Chatham County district, where about 77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most impressive thing about this school is how well it keeps students engaged. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low—just 8.7% in the most recent year, compared to 16.6% for the district and 17.7% statewide. This pattern has held for several years, with the school consistently running about 10 points below district averages. That's especially notable for an alternative school, where attendance struggles are common. The graduation rate is also a bright spot, hovering around 84-85%—right near the state average and only slightly below the district. When compared to School of Humanities at Juliette Gordon Low, another alternative school just 2.7 miles away, the E-Learning Academy's absenteeism rate is dramatically lower (8.7% vs. 24.4%), and its 5th grade science proficiency (43.8%) far exceeds that school's 25.3%.

Academically, the picture is mixed but shows some real strengths. In 5th grade science, 43.8% of students scored proficient—nearly matching the state average and beating the district. Historical data (from 2023-24) showed the school outperforming the district in middle school English Language Arts, with 5th, 6th, and 7th graders all scoring higher than district peers. However, math proficiency lags significantly, especially in middle school, and 8th grade physical science is a major challenge at just 5.8% proficiency versus 55% districtwide. High school End-of-Course exams are improving, with Algebra I proficiency jumping from 8.1% to 20% in one year. The dropout rate (5.4%) is about double the district average, though it has improved slightly. Per-student spending has nearly doubled since 2020 to $15,925, yet the school still spends less than its nearby alternative counterpart while achieving better engagement and several stronger academic outcomes.

Open Quote For the 1st few years, as long as a student was getting As & Bs, they could work independently. Since my child has ASD, working at her own pace is what she needs. She actually worked faster & was always getting As & Bs. Then for the 22-23 school year, she was forced to attend all classes regardless of grades. What made it an issue is she was completing her work faster than everyone else, so she'd sit with nothing to do and one teacher, who taught 2 of her classes, complained to me about her reading a book/not paying attention. I've watched many zooms, 90 of them are teachers yelling at students. So I told my kid to just do the next days work. Then the teacher started marking her absent for days where she had no work to do but was still in the zoom. Who marks a kid absent for finishing their work too fast? That teacher also didn't care about the special accommodations needed for a child with ASD, which is an ADA-protected disability. Close Quote
