Attendance zone

Zones are set by the Richmond County School System and do not follow neighborhood lines or city limits. Check any address in the district’s School Zone and Bus Stop Locator. The district does not publish a feeder list; the feeder schools below come from that locator, which we checked at about 1,200 points across Richmond County on Oct. 6, 2026. Hephzibah Middle School feeds Hephzibah High. The elementary schools are Hephzibah Elementary, Blythe Elementary and part of Deer Chase Elementary. Of the points we checked inside the Hephzibah High zone, about two-thirds were in Augusta, outside the Hephzibah and Blythe city limits, according to Census Bureau boundaries. Those schools have Hephzibah or Blythe addresses, so we list them in our hub instead of on pages of their own.

We found no rezoning approved by the Board of Education that changes this zone.
