Summary

Hephzibah High School is a public high school in Hephzibah, Georgia, serving 1,107 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 177 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hephzibah High School consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages on the Georgia Milestones Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12% of students were proficient or better in American Literature and Composition, compared to 17.8% for the Richmond County district and 40.4% for the state of Georgia. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 78% to 85.4% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, Hephzibah High School has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.74% to 97.95% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools in the Richmond County district, such as Academy of Richmond County High School, Johnson Magnet, and Richmond County Technical Career Magnet School, Hephzibah High School's academic performance is consistently lower, with significantly higher proficiency rates and graduation rates. Despite these challenges, Hephzibah High School's low per-student spending and relatively small student-teacher ratio could indicate potential opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes.
