About Chatham County School District
Chatham County School District is the public school district assigned to zip code 31328 in Chatham, Georgia. Serving students from Pre-K – 12th, this district is the primary public education system for families living in and around zip code 31328. The sections below cover the district’s resources, scale, rating, and everything families need to know about enrollment and school assignment.
Understanding the 3/10 Rating
With a rating of 3/10 (below average), Chatham County School District ranks among Georgia’s below average-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Georgia’s Milestones EOG grades 3–8 ELA & Math assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Georgia is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Chatham County School District carries a below-average rating, with reading and math proficiency rates below typical Georgia benchmarks on state assessments. A below-average score reflects test performance relative to other districts — not necessarily teaching quality or school culture, and some of these districts have schools with strong communities and dedicated staff. Families should research specific school quality, visit in person, and ask about available programs. Also ask about open enrollment and magnet options that may offer alternatives to the default attendance-zone assignment.
Enrollment for Families in Zip Code 31328
Children in zip code 31328 are assigned to Chatham County School District for public school enrollment, covering grades Pre-K – 12th.
