Marshpoint Elementary School Reviews

I know some of the teachers and students that attend and work at MarshPoint. I have seen excellence in their learning and teaching. My great nephew is thriving there with high grades and much learning joy!

Marshpoint has an excellent IB program that is going to have a feeder jr. high and feeder high school. If your child graduates HS thru the IB program, they can go to school almost anywhere in the world!!

The teachers are the best! Children learn while having fun.

We moved to Savannah over a year ago from the Washington DC metro area. I was concerned about the public school system in Georgia and definitely Chatham County which ranks fairly low. But after doing much research I found that 1) the rankings can be deceptive and 2) Marshpoint is a phenomenal school. I went to private schools growing up and Marshpoint blows every institution I ever attended out of the water. The staff is great. The teachers really care. They challenge the students to learn while maintaining the fun. The parent involvement is off the chart. I am continuously amazed at what this school is accomplishing. My daughter started kindergarten at Marshpoint this year and the other day she said to me, 'Mommy, I really like my school. It's a good school. I have fun. I'm glad we came to Savannah.' That says it all right there.

My family has traveled a lot. My son has attened schools in Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and Marshpoint Elem. in Ga., out of all of them I have to say he and I both think Marshpoint was the best in ALL aspects. Everyone was so nice and helpful, the teachers and staff actually cared. The academics were challenging but yet not so hard it made the kids not like it. The extracirr. activities were great and parent involvement was very high. At the moment we are in Florida and the schools here are forcing so much academics at such higher levels that the students are having NO fun. In Alabama the academic levels were very low, and my son was doing such easy work it was boring him. We are going to be moving back to Savannah and WE can't wait to be back at Marshpoint!

Marshpoint is second to none! My daughter has Down syndrome and has been at Marshpoint since she was 3 years old (pre school intervention). The education she has received is wonderful. She is fully included in a regular education class with the inclusion model. The teachers, staff, principal and kids are loving and supportive. My daughter is happy and well adjusted, she has friends and is learning far more than most people would expect. Marshpoint has given her the chance to prove that she can succeed! We are thrilled with Marshpoint and wish it went through the 12th grade!

Marshpoint is an excellent school. I recently enrolled three children there. Due to a move, they had to switch from another local school. Marshpoint made the transition easy. They love their teachers and are doing well in class.

I too have had two children graduate from Marshpoint and enter into the private education sector. The transition from elementary to middle is not an easy one, no matter where your child goes to school. Not only was I thrilled with the education they recieved at Marshpoint but they are excelling in their current schools. My children were in SEARCH as well. There is always room for improvement in any situation. It appears the parent that made the comment about splitting the schools is in favor of a merger with a neighborhood school. Research has shown this is not in the best interest of ALL children. I will always have a special place in my heart for Marshpoint! Thank you.

Two of my children graduated from Marshpoint Elementary several years ago and they were not adequately prepared to face the challenges of Coastal Middle School (both were in SEARCH). The fifth grade teachers at Marshpoint seemed to stress too much on field trips instead of teaching them the math and language skills that are needed for middle school. Fortunately for my children, I was able to teach them the necessary skills to catch them up to where they should be. They are doing great now, but how many parents have teaching skills and can help their children. I noticed the CRCT scores for the fifth graders were barely above average. Perhaps it would be for the best if the children in this school district attended Islands Elementary for their third through fifth grade years.

Mrs Kobleur is such a caring and concerned principal. She has the kids best interest at heart. I wish that we could take her with us all the way though to high school !
