Summary

Cross Creek High School is a public high school in Augusta, Georgia, serving 1,124 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 177 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cross Creek High School consistently performs below the Richmond County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12.6% of students were proficient or better in American Literature and Composition, compared to 17.8% for Richmond County and 40.4% for the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 78.0% to 85.4% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, Cross Creek High School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.1% to 97.97% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Cross Creek High School to nearby schools in the Richmond County district, it becomes clear that the school is performing significantly worse academically. For example, Johnson Magnet, a public magnet school, has much higher proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments, with over 70% of students proficient or better in several subjects. The relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratio at Cross Creek High School may indicate a lack of adequate funding and resources, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
