The school is part of the Greenville 01 School District, which is ranked 11th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Augusta Circle Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in South Carolina, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school excels in serving all student subgroups, ranking among the top 1-5 elementary schools in the state for female, male, and white students, as well as for gifted and talented students.

While Augusta Circle Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, the nearby schools in the Greenville 01 district have more varied performance. Some, like Sara Collins Elementary and A.J. Whittenberg Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic results, while others, such as Welcome Elementary, East North Street Academy, and Hollis Academy, have lower proficiency rates and rankings. Despite Augusta Circle Elementary's overall excellence, there may be opportunities to further enhance student outcomes, particularly in areas like Mathematics.
