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 school was great. It was very diverse and I always had fun when I got to class. Right now, my school is in the process of rebuilding. Every time when I go back to visit it looks nicer and nicer. I met a lot of good people and lifelong friends at my school. The teachers always cared for us, because they wanted us to pass and go on to higher heights.

Academy of Richmond County High School is a historical building. They provide many programs such as the IB, AP, and dual enrollment program. If your student has positive interactions with the faculty, then it will benefit their education in the long run; the student could be exposed to more educational opportunities.

ARC is a great school. Severaal year ago there were concerns when overcrowding was a problem (due to school choice) but since then and from what I see now, it is one of the best schools in Richmond County. The IB magnet program only enhances what the school has to offer. I have two sons who attend (...
