Summary

Todd Grant Elementary School in Darien, GA, serves approximately 694 students in grades PK-5 as part of the McIntosh County School District, a coastal community where the school has recently seen a significant shift in its student population.

One of the most important things to know is that Todd Grant now serves a student body where 100% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch—up from about 88% just a year ago. This rapid increase in economic need is a major change for the school community. Academically, the school's overall state ranking dropped to the 29th percentile this year, down from the 48th percentile the year before. The most concerning area is 5th grade math, where only 21.3% of students scored proficient, compared to the state average of 44.1%. This is part of a pattern where student performance declines as grade levels rise—3rd and 4th graders score much closer to state averages in math, but by 5th grade the gap widens significantly. On a more positive note, 5th grade science scores have shown improvement in recent years, and English Language Arts performance in upper grades has been relatively competitive with state averages.

Compared to nearby schools in the neighboring Glynn County district, the differences are striking. Just a short drive away, Greer Elementary ranks in the 81st percentile and Golden Isles Elementary ranks in the 56th percentile—both serving high-poverty populations. This suggests that economic challenges alone don't determine outcomes. Todd Grant also spends less per student ($13,062) than most nearby Glynn County schools and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio. Chronic absenteeism has jumped to 19.8%, up from 14.7% the prior year, and is now above state averages. The school has shown it can perform better—it ranked in the 53rd percentile as recently as 2022-2023—so the question is whether targeted support in math and attendance can help reverse the current trend.
