DeRenne Middle School

DeRenne Middle School serves a neighborhood that carries a lot of Savannah's real character — moss-draped streets, tight-knit blocks, and a community with deep roots in the city's history. Academically, the school faces significant challenges, particularly in math and English, and families prioritizing test-score performance may want to explore additional support resources or enrichment options outside of school. That said, Savannah itself is a genuinely compelling place to grow up, with rich arts, history, and culture all around, and families who engage actively in their child's education can still find ways to thrive here.
