Summary:

Zip code 31401 in Savannah, Georgia is home to just one middle school, Hubert Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and operates within the Savannah-Chatham County school district.

Hubert Middle School serves a student body where 91% qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it receives a substantial per-student investment of $17,431 with a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio. Despite these resources, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia middle schools over the past three years, though its percentile ranking improved from the 2nd percentile in 2024-2025 back to the 8th percentile in 2025-2026. The most encouraging news for parents is the strong academic momentum shown in the most recent year. Between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, proficiency rates improved dramatically across nearly every subject: 8th-grade Mathematics jumped from 3.1% to 10.8%, Science rose from 4.7% to 10.2%, and Social Studies more than doubled from 7.0% to 17.5%. Sixth-grade Mathematics also improved from 4.6% to 10.4%. However, these gains still leave the school well behind district and state averages—typically 15 to 35 percentage points lower—and chronic absenteeism remains a significant concern at 27%, compared to 17.7% statewide.

For parents considering this school, the picture is one of a high-needs institution making tangible progress. Social Studies stands out as a relative strength with the highest proficiency rate and the largest year-over-year improvement, potentially indicating an instructional model worth replicating in other subjects. The 8th-grade Mathematics gap compared to the state (35.5 points) highlights cumulative learning challenges, but the recent upward trend across all subjects suggests that the school's investments may be starting to pay off. The combination of small class sizes, high spending, and improving test scores provides a foundation for continued growth, though addressing the chronic absenteeism rate—which affects more than one in four students—will be critical to sustaining this momentum.
