Spotlight on Middle Schools
First, let’s dive into the middle schools that are earning major kudos. Three local schools have made their mark in the rankings. These spots are all about students feeling supported and excelling academically. The rankings took a close look at standardized test scores in math, science, and reading proficiency – all while keeping in mind the socioeconomic backgrounds of the students. It’s heartening to see that the top schools are dedicated to educating every student effectively.
Leading the charge is the Esther F. Garrison School for the Arts, which snags the impressive No. 52 spot among middle schools in Georgia. This remarkable institution caters to students from pre-kindergarten all the way through to eighth grade! With an enrollment of 766 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, it’s no wonder why they’re recognized for nurturing creativity and academic success.
Next up, we have the Stem Academy at Bartlett, ranking No. 63 in the state. This middle school serves grades six through eight and has a solid enrollment of 671 students. The student-teacher ratio here is 13:1, making sure students receive the attention they deserve while delving into science, technology, engineering, and math subjects.
Finally, we can’t forget about Richmond Hill Middle School, which comes in at No. 81 among Georgia’s middle schools. This larger community school educates 1,894 students in grades six to eight. Although the student-teacher ratio is a bit higher at 16:1, Richmond Hill remains a beloved choice for many families in the Savannah area.
High Schools Taking the Lead
Another contender, Woodville-Tompkins Technical and Career High School, ranks No. 85 in the state. While Savannah didn’t make it into the top 100 nationally for high schools this year, there are still fantastic opportunities for students to blossom. The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology was recognized as the ninth-best nationally, while BASIS Peoria in Arizona took the top spot overall.
A Step Ahead in Education
