GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Hephzibah High School is a hidden gem in the Richmond County School System. As a senior, I had a wonderful experience during my time there. The teachers are dedicated, supportive, and genuinely care about their students' success. The school offers a range of extracurricular activities and programs, from sports to arts and clubs, which cater to diverse interests and talents.
