School Overview

Southwest Elementary sits in the quieter, suburban southwestern corner of Savannah, a part of the city that feels a bit removed from the tourist bustle of the historic district but still has easy access to everything that makes Savannah a genuinely wonderful place to live. Academically, the school performs below the middle of the pack statewide, so families who place a high priority on test scores may want to weigh their options carefully within the Savannah-Chatham County district. That said, for families already rooted in this part of town — drawn by the more affordable neighborhoods and the laid-back coastal Georgia lifestyle — Southwest Elementary offers a local option worth visiting in person to get a feel for the community and teaching staff.
