===School board elections===
:: ''See also: [[Effingham County Schools elections (2014)]]''
Members of the board are elected to four-year terms on a staggered basis. Two seats, Districts 1 and 4, were up for election on May 20, 2014. Three seats will be on the ballot in May 2016.
 
===Public participation in board meetings===
The board maintains the following policy regarding public participation in board meetings, which was adopted in 2008:
 
{{quote|All official meetings of the Effingham County Board of Education shall be open to the public.  However, the Board reserves the right to meet and to adjourn or to recess a meeting at any time to discuss such matters as may be properly considered in executive sessions.<br>
<br>
It is the Board's desire for citizens of the Effingham County School District to attend its sessions so that the public may become more familiar with the operation and programs of the schools and so the Board may have more opportunity to address matters of public concern, including meeting with appropriate school level officials and the superintendent.<br>
<br>
In order to assure that persons who wish to appear before the Board may be heard, and to assure further that the Board may conduct its meetings properly and efficiently, the following rules and procedures shall apply to public participation in Board meetings.<br>
<br>
1.    Anyone wishing to speak before the Board, in the capacity of an individual or representing a group, shall inform the Superintendent by letter, fax, or e-mail or the desire to do so as early as possible, but in no event later than 48 hours prior to the scheduled Board meeting.  Such notice shall include information regarding the topic to be addressed and, where applicable, previous steps taken to resolve the matter of concern; such as meeting with the school Principal or Superintendent.<br>
<br>
2.    A majority vote of the Board is necessary to allow unscheduled participation.  When such participation is allowed, the rules and procedures which follow still apply.<br>
<br>
3.  Anyone wishing to speak before the Board shall identify their name, address, and group, if any, they are representing.<br>
<br>
4.  The presentation of anyone wishing to speak before the Board should be as brief as possible, and unless an extension of time is granted, the presentation shall be limited to ten minutes.<br>
<br>
5.  Speakers may offer such objective criticisms of school operations and programs as concerns them.  However, in public session, the Board will not hear personal complaints of school personnel or complaints against any person connected with the school system.  Other channels provide for Board consideration and disposition of legitimate complaints in that regard.<br>
<br>
6.    No profane or vulgar language, nor personal abuse against any person, shall be permitted.<br>
<br>
7.    The Board vests in its chairperson or other presiding officer the authority to terminate the remark of anyone who does not adhere to the rules and procedures set forth herein.<br>
<br>
8.    Members of the Board are without authority to act independently as individuals in official matters; thus, questions may be directed to Board members, but answers must be deferred pending consideration by the Board.|author=Effingham County Schools' website, (2008)

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."[2]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

School year All (%) Asian/Pacific Islander (%) Black (%) Hispanic (%) Native American (%) Two or More Races (%) White (%)
