If I could give them zero stars I would. This school is prejudice, there is no way around it. I hate the way we are treated and talked to. They say inappropriate things to my daughterand her teacher assigns children to rub her back. When I went to the principle about my many concerns she stood up for the teacher and said it must be a miscommunication, and she such a good teacher, and she said it's not true. Always an excuse. Please listen to me when I say DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN THERE! If I knew what I know now I wouldn't have even moved here. This school has made our experience here on Whitemarsh Island terrible.

It has been 10 years since I went to Marshpoint, but I can say this: Marshpoint was the ONLY school besides the college I'm in now that I excelled in. I know more than half of the teachers I had back then are not there anymore, but I'm sure the current teachers there now are just as good. I miss Marshpoint and I treasure every memory I had there. You're not just a student there, you're a person. I would recommend this school to ANYONE!

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.
