David L Rainer Elementary School

Tucked into the coastal Georgia community of Kingsland, Rainer Elementary sits in one of the state's fastest-growing counties, drawing families who work at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base or who've discovered this corner of the Georgia coast as an affordable alternative to the Florida border towns just south. The school holds its own academically, with particular strength in English, and has the kind of tight-knit feel you'd expect from a community where military families and longtime locals mix. For families settling into Camden County — with the marshes, the small-town pace, and easy access to both Fernandina Beach and the Golden Isles — Rainer offers a solid, dependable start for young students.
