Summary:
Zip code 31410 in Savannah, GA, is home to one middle school, Coastal Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Savannah-Chatham County school district.
Coastal Middle School is a standout performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 80th percentile statewide (116th out of 578 schools) for 2025-2026. The school’s most remarkable achievement is in Algebra I, where 98.2% of students scored proficient on the End of Course exam—more than double the state average (48.1%) and triple the district average (32.8%). This follows a perfect 100% proficiency rate the previous year. Beyond math, the school consistently outperforms both district and state averages in every subject and grade level. For example, 8th grade science proficiency is 43.8% compared to 22.7% district-wide and 29.7% statewide, while 8th grade social studies proficiency reaches 56.3% versus 26.4% district and 40.2% state. The school also shows strong year-over-year improvement in 6th grade math, jumping from 41.8% to 53.3% proficiency.
Supporting these academic results are favorable school conditions. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.3%, dramatically lower than the district rate of 16.6% and state rate of 17.7%, despite 48.15% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. The school benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2:1 and per-student spending of $19,922, which likely contribute to personalized instruction and strong family engagement. While current-year English Language Arts (ELA) scores are not yet available—they will be released in December—last year’s results showed the school outperforming the district by roughly 20 points and the state by 9-10 points in 6th and 7th grades. With an improving statewide rank (up 33 positions from last year) and consistent 4-star ratings over three years, Coastal Middle School stands out as a model of academic excellence within its district.
