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.

My experience at Effingham County High School is fairly limited since I go to STEM, but I'm a part of multiple extracurriculars at ECHS. I like the clubs and teams I'm in, and I think that the teachers who lead those activities do a very good job. It's clear that they like what they do, and it makes the clubs enjoyable for me, too. If there was anything I could change, I would make there be less fights at the school. I've witnessed very few since I'm at STEM for most of the day, but I hear about them a lot, and it causes my dad to worry about me. At one point, he almost took me out of a club I'm in because he was concerned about me.

As someone who grew up in this county I'm sad to see how bad this school is now. My kid goes there now and we are only looking forward to the day they get out. Some of the teachers are really good, but the administration is more focused on dress codes that make no difference to education they have n...

As someone who moved here from Gwinnett for less than a semester, I can say with my full heart this is a strange school. From the mascot to the restrictions of freedom of speech, it’s absolutely bizarre to be a student here. Students are shamed for views that don’t align with the school’s conservati...

I am awfully disappointed with this schools academics, equality and environment. I have two children that attended Effingham County High School and the amount of unfair discipline is outrageous! My son has never once failed a class in his whole life, he was always an outstanding scholar and very ser...
