School Overview

Southwest Middle School sits in the southwestern reaches of Savannah, a city full of character and history, but families in this zip code are navigating a school that struggles academically — ranking near the bottom of Georgia middle schools in English and Science. That said, Savannah itself offers a rich cultural backdrop, and families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their child's education with tutoring or extracurricular programs may find ways to make it work. Families with options in this part of town may want to weigh the school's numbers carefully before enrolling.
