Summary:
ZIP code 67010 has five Augusta schools—three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school—serving students from elementary through high school in the Augusta district. Across the schools, average 2025–26 proficiency was about 43% in English language arts (ELA), 38% in math and 38% in science, close to state averages of 46%, 41% and 38%. But those averages hide large differences: the most important finding is that Garfield Elementary stands apart, especially in ELA and science.
Garfield led the group in all three subjects, with 62% proficiency in ELA, 46% in math and 59% in science—16, 5 and 21 percentage points above the state, respectively. The biggest weaknesses were at Augusta Middle School, where math was 29% and science 20%, 12 and 18 points below the state. Augusta Senior High had the lowest ELA result, 31%, or 14 points below the state. Elementary results also vary by grade: in grade 4 math, Garfield’s 33% was below Ewalt Elementary at 36% and Lincoln Elementary at 42%.
Recent trends are mixed: the five-school ELA average slipped from 44% to 43% as the state rose from 44% to 46%, while math improved from 36% to 38% and kept pace with the state’s rise from 39% to 41%. Garfield’s SchoolDigger statewide percentile ranking fell from 81 to 70, though it still ranked highest among these schools; Lincoln’s rose from 27 to 35 as its ELA and math scores improved. Other measures offer context, not explanations: Garfield enrolls 256 students and has a 48% free/reduced-lunch rate, while Ewalt has a student–teacher ratio of 16 to 1 and Augusta Middle’s is 11.7 to 1. The two-year score history is short, and the high school has no prior-year science result.
