Summary

Ebenezer Elementary School in Rincon, GA, serves 995 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly rated Effingham County district, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide. The school has earned a solid 4-star rating for over a decade, consistently ranking in the 79th–87th percentile, with its most recent ranking at the 79th percentile—a slight dip from prior years but still well above most schools in the region.

One of the most impressive stories at Ebenezer is its dramatic improvement in attendance. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 15.7% in 2021-2022 to just 6.7% today—a 57% reduction. That rate is less than half the district average (12.9%) and far below the state average (17.7%). This improvement is especially meaningful because consistent attendance sets the stage for academic success. In math, Ebenezer outperforms state averages by 6.5 to 15.8 percentage points across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency is 64.1% versus 48.3% statewide. Science scores also exceed state levels (55.2% vs. 44.2%), though they trail the district average slightly. The school also shines in special education, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide—stronger than its overall ranking—suggesting effective support for students with diverse learning needs.

Compared to nearby schools, Ebenezer holds its own. It ranks above Marlow Elementary (78th percentile) and Springfield Elementary (74th), while trailing South Effingham Elementary (89th) and Blandford Elementary (83rd). The contrast with schools in the neighboring Savannah-Chatham County district is stark—Ebenezer’s math proficiency rates are roughly 20–30 points higher than Pooler Elementary and Godley Station School. With about 49% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Ebenezer achieves strong results while spending slightly less per student ($14,535) than several comparable schools, indicating efficient use of resources. For parents seeking a stable, high-performing school with a clear focus on attendance and student support, Ebenezer is a compelling choice.
