School Overview

Hesse School sits in the Southside of Savannah, a quieter, more suburban corner of a city better known for its moss-draped squares and historic downtown charm. What really sets Hesse apart is its standout math program — scoring in the 96th percentile statewide — making it a strong draw for families who prioritize STEM and want their kids challenged in quantitative subjects. It's a solid neighborhood option for families who love the culture and character of Savannah but prefer a more residential, laid-back setting away from the tourist bustle.
