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.

It has been great I have really enjoyed Wayne county high school. There are plenty of classes available to prepare me for college. The students, admin, and teachers are all really friends and helpful. The sports are ok but they have trouble keeping the same coaches for more than one year.

Wayne County High is the only high school in Jesup, GA. If you do your work and stay out of trouble for the most part, the staff and faculty will treat you nicely. There are plenty of organizations to get involved in and there is a large emphasis on athletes, especially football.
