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.

I'm an alumna of Ridgeland- Hardeeville High School class of 2019. I had a pretty decent experience at this school. The food was okay, you'd always have fruits and vegetables. The bathrooms, on the other hand, were filthy. It wasn't the janitor's fault it was the student's fault. Sometimes it was hard to learn with the students disrespecting the teachers and making disruptions.

We switched from a charter school to this school. My kiddo enjoys going to school everyday and enjoys the different classes offered. She made friends easily and loves her teachers. The staff has been great and whenever I have brought up an issue, they listened and addressed it.
