Our Story
Deer Chase is a Title I school located in South Augusta (Hephzibah) near the Gate 5 entrance to Fort Eisenhower. The school was opened in 2006 to serve the following subdivisions and apartment complex: Sand Ridge, Pinnacle Place, Farrington Highpointe, Walton Hills, Walton Farms and Pinnacle Place. Many of these students are from military families. The school serves students ranging in grades Pre-K through Fifth grade. The school’s mascot is a Deer and we are called “Trailblazers”. A trailblazer is a pathfinder, a pioneer, one that helps open a new line of thought or activities to prepare the way for others. The school colors are hunter green and white. The new feeder schools are Hephzibah Middle and Hephzibah High School.

College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) is Georgia’s statewide accountability system. The CCRPI assesses how well students are prepared for college and careers, and ensures that schools are focused on improving achievement among all students. The index measures student achievement on indicators such as content mastery, student growth on progress, subgroup performance on closing gaps, and various areas including Lexile performance, attendance, and other academic based measurements. Schools earn CCRPI points based on indicators that vary by grade and school level and align with measures of college- and career-readiness. Each individual component score is on a scale of 0-100.
