Summary

Greer Elementary School in Brunswick, GA, serves approximately 599 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Glynn County School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating for the past decade, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide.

Greer’s standout strength is mathematics. In 4th grade, 70.8% of students are proficient in math, compared to 52.2% for the district and 50.1% for the state. Fifth grade math is similarly impressive at 68.1% proficiency versus 47.5% district and 44.1% state averages. Science scores are also exceptional, with 5th graders hitting 59.5% proficiency—well above the state’s 44.2%. Even compared to nearby schools, the gap is striking: Greer’s 5th grade math proficiency is 68.1%, while Burroughs-Molette Elementary School sits at just 15.3%. Greer also keeps class sizes small with a 12.5:1 student-teacher ratio, and it spends less per student ($15,767) than several lower-performing peers like Goodyear Elementary School ($18,199).

Attendance is another area where Greer shines. The chronic absenteeism rate has dropped from 23.6% in 2021-2022 to just 9.6% now—far below the district’s 15.0% and the state’s 17.7%. This improvement likely supports the school’s steady academic gains. Greer also achieves strong results for all student groups, with Hispanic students ranking in the 79th percentile statewide. While about 74% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, Greer’s outcomes rival or exceed those of wealthier nearby schools like St. Simons Elementary School in 4th grade math (70.8% vs. 72.0%). For parents, Greer offers a proven combination of strong math and science instruction, improving attendance, and efficient use of resources—making it a standout choice in the region.

Open Quote Greer is an excellent school! My son is in his second year there, and I am thrilled with his experiences. Last year, the school earned the prestigious International Baccalaureate World School status, and the teachers provide exciting learning experiences for the students. The parents are involved, and the teachers are dedicated. I am so thankful my child attends C.B. Greer! Close Quote
