Summary

Richmond Hill High School in Richmond Hill, GA, is a large public high school serving 2,671 students in grades 9-12, and it has earned a top-30 state ranking (94th percentile) with a 5-star rating, placing it among the best comprehensive high schools in the Savannah region.

For parents, the standout story here is consistency and strength across nearly every measure. The school’s graduation rate hit 95.8% in 2024-2025, well above the state average of 87.2%, and its dropout rate is just 0.8%—a fraction of the state’s 2.4%. In end-of-course assessments, proficiency rates in Biology (68.7%) and U.S. History (71.6%) tower over state averages (47.2% and 38.5%, respectively), and even Algebra I proficiency (69.5%) far exceeds the state’s 48.1%. What’s especially impressive is that the school earns 5-star ratings for nearly all student subgroups, including Hispanic students (ranked 9th in the state) and English Language Learners (ranked 5th in the state), showing that strong results aren’t limited to one group. This stands in stark contrast to nearby schools in Savannah-Chatham County, such as Groves High School or Windsor Forest High School, where proficiency rates often fall into the teens and twenties.

Another notable point is efficiency: Richmond Hill spends $11,026 per student—significantly less than the $14,000-$17,500 spent by many lower-performing neighbors—yet achieves superior outcomes. The only comparable local peer is Savannah Arts Academy, a magnet school, though Richmond Hill offers this level of success as a standard comprehensive high school. One area to watch is chronic absenteeism at 15.1%, which is better than the state average (17.7%) but higher than its own district’s 12.2% and far above peers like Savannah Arts Academy (3.7%). Still, this hasn’t dented academic results. For families seeking a high-achieving, well-rounded public high school in the area, Richmond Hill is a clear standout.

Open Quote There are some very dedicated teachers and there are some teachers that just need to retire. We have an affluent community why is it we can't fill all of the teaching positions. Some of the classes were without instructors. Kudos to those teachers who have been teaching for many years yet still have the zest of life and joy of teaching. We need a better teacher to student ratio and with the room gained when the middle school moved out we shouldn't have a problem making room for more classes. Now we just need to find the money.

Open Quote Richmond Hill High School is great. The teachers are caring; the administration is experienced and stern enough to keep the students in line without an overabundance of rules. The school offers many clubs and courses of study. As a graduate who got a scholarship thanks to this school, I give it a 5 star rating. Close Quote

Open Quote The arrogance and the unresponsiveness of the teachers and staff members to the needs of the students and parents. Also the lack of accessiblity to the teachers by email from parents.

Some teachers and staff members do not appear to have the needed education to teach or work in their selected fields of study. Close Quote
