About Marshpoint Elementary School
Marshpoint Elementary School serves 645 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Savannah, Georgia. With a composite score of 9.5 out of 10, the school earns an Exceptional rating — ranking 9th out of 2,268 public schools statewide and 3rd out of 48 schools in Savannah. That places Marshpoint among the top performers across all of Georgia, outperforming 100% of schools in the state by composite measure.
Academic achievement and student growth both drive that standing. The school scores 9.2 in academics and a near-perfect 9.8 in growth, meaning students here are not just performing at a high level — they are advancing faster than peers at virtually every other school in Georgia. Among elementary schools specifically, Marshpoint ranks 9th out of 1,301 statewide, a position that reflects sustained, measurable results rather than a single strong year.
A student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1 keeps classrooms small relative to many public schools, giving teachers more direct time with each student. Families comparing elementary options in the Savannah area will find Marshpoint's data difficult to match — its combination of high achievement scores and exceptional growth rates puts it in a category occupied by very few public schools in Georgia.
