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.

The staff are kind, respectful and very cool. So far, my experience has been great, I've made a lot of friends and some of the people are very approachable. There are a good amount of diverse clubs and sports to do.

My overall experience at Herschel V. Jenkins High School was amazing. Jenkins is one of the best high schools in Savannah GA. Our principal Mrs Heather Handy is amazing. She does a great job with keeping everyone safe. There has not been a time at school where I have not felt safe. The teachers and staff really do care about us and really do care about our safety and if we're doing good. My advisement teacher Ms Brionna Brooker also known as "Coach" is one of those many teachers who cares if we succeed. She will encourage you and if you feel like no one believes in you she will make sure you know that she believes in you she is one of the most encouraging teachers at Jenkins high school.I really do enjoy the teachers and staff at my school. They do a very great job at keeping us safe and educated and there is no other school I wish I could have attended. Herschel V. Jenkins isn't just a high school but it is a home and I am very honored to be apart of such an amazing school.

They are doing a fabulous job with remodeling this High School and it looks great. The school is very secular and I'm not sure if they get the highest testing ratings that they could get.

I am super excited and proud to be working with the faculty.Half of the problem that kids have is that their parents don't get involved. This faculty is on top of it!
