The single score runs from 0 to 100 and is built from content mastery, progress, closing gaps and readiness, plus graduation rate for high schools. Georgia does not publish an A-to-F letter grade for schools in its 2025 data.

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. Most of the Langford-Tutt Middle zone and part of the Belair Middle zone feed Westside. The elementary schools are Belair, Warren Road, T. Harry Garrett and part of Lake Forest Hills. Our neighborhood guides found Summerville and Belair split between Westside and the Academy of Richmond County.

The district’s plan FAQ moves the Belfair Lakes subdivision to Belair Elementary, Belair Middle and Westside High, a boundary change it describes as permanent. The district’s master plan page has the hearing recordings and updates.
