Summary

Satilla Marsh Elementary School in Brunswick, GA, serves 752 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Glynn County School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating for eight of the last ten years, currently ranking in the 79th percentile statewide.

What really sets Satilla Marsh apart is its standout performance in math and science. In the most recent testing year, math proficiency ranged from 54% to nearly 60% across grades 3-5, well above state averages, while 5th grade science hit 60.3%—more than 16 points higher than the state. The school also shines when it comes to attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate is just 8.4%, less than half the district average of 15.0% and far below nearby schools like Glyndale Elementary (27.0%) and Burroughs-Molette Elementary (21.3%). Satilla Marsh also earns high marks for its special education program, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for that subgroup—a notable achievement. All of this is accomplished while spending less per student ($13,774) than several peers, including St. Simons Elementary ($18,474) and Goodyear Elementary ($18,199), the latter of which ranks in just the 27th percentile.

One area worth watching is the gender gap: female students rank in the 83rd percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 70th. The school has also seen its free/reduced lunch population grow from 44% to 67% over two years, yet it has maintained strong results throughout that shift. Compared to Altama Elementary, just under nine miles away, Satilla Marsh posts dramatically higher science scores (60.3% vs. 29.1%) despite serving a similar community. This consistency over a decade—through changes in testing and demographics—points to strong systems and effective teaching that families can count on.
