Summary

Richmond County Technical Career Magnet School in Augusta, GA, is a 4-star, career-focused magnet school serving 433 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Richmond County district.

This school stands out for its remarkable consistency and student success, especially given that 82% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Most notably, the school has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate for five consecutive years—a figure that towers over the district average of 81.7% and the state average of 87.2%. Nearby comprehensive high schools like Josey High School (66.1%) and Glenn Hills High School (69.8%) lag far behind. The school also excels in keeping students engaged: its chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.7%, compared to 30.3% district-wide and over 56% at some neighboring schools like Butler High School. Academically, students outperform district peers by wide margins—for example, 62.9% are proficient in Biology versus 17.3% district-wide, and 40.9% are proficient in Algebra I versus 19.4% district-wide. The school is particularly effective with African American students, ranking in the top 20% of all Georgia schools serving this demographic.

While the school is often compared to Davidson Fine Arts Magnet, the district’s other premier magnet, RCTCMS achieves similar outcomes while serving a far more economically disadvantaged population (82% vs. 42% free/reduced lunch). One area to watch is middle school math: 6th and 7th grade proficiency (29.9% and 24%) trails the state average (40.7% and 42%), though 8th graders nearly catch up (46.9% vs. 46.3% statewide). With a favorable 14.1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $16,291, this school demonstrates that high-poverty schools can achieve excellent results through career-focused education and strong attendance—making it a potential model for the entire district.

Having worked as a substitute for three years in the Richmond County School district in over thirty different schools, I think I have a unique perspective of the quality and kind of education you will find here. My five star rating is also based on 28 years of teaching in another state and 34 years in military, four years as a liaison for the United States Air Force Academy. I was introduced to STEM, (science, technology, engineering and math) in 2000 as a member of the International Education And Resource Network. I gave presentations on the integration of technology in conferences in Japan, Egypt and Senegal. STEM initiatives were launched in Georgia in 2005. TCM business partners provide funding and guidance to increase the number of students who pursue majors and careers in the field of science, technology, engineering and math. Overall the district rates an "A" in STEM initiatives, however there must be a number one school who encompasses those ideals of STEM. That school is The Richmond County Technical Career Magnet School. Its' programs are designed to attract a variety of interests. from culinary arts, cyber security, audio visual and film technology, computer networking, energy and electronics. But these are the pathways that are designed to secure a job, especially with dual enrollment at Augusta Tech, positioned next to the campus. TCM has after, before and during the school day clubs that attract interests in aeronautical engineering, non-kit rocketry, flight school, design lab, solar energy, and much more. Want to find out more, visit the campus! One look and you'll be hooked.
