We were also one of the unfortunate ones to not get our daughter accepted into Savannah Arts & were very disappointed. Through the lottery process, she ended up at her 3rd choice school, Early College. I felt that the interview process was flawed with the one on one interviews & would have preferred a panel making a joint decision, but I presume due to the high number of applicants this would be impractical. With their stringent application process, I would expect nothing less than Savannah Arts being #1 in Chatham County because they get to choose the cream of the crop.
Today, I am thankful that my daughter got into Early College, she went from an average scholar at Oglethorpe Academy and with the help of her teachers to be one of the top learners at Early College. I think the smaller class sizes made a huge difference & that at Savannah Arts, she probably would just have been a little fish in a big pond. Savannah Arts is the best school in Chatham County & please allow every child in the county a fair chance of getting in, our daughter found a home at Early College & if your child misses out on Savannah Arts, the program at Early College deserves to be looked at.
