ZIP code 41002 has one listed school, Augusta Independent School, an alternative school serving prekindergarten through grade 12 with 334 students. With no other listed schools, families cannot compare local schools against one another; the available comparisons are with Kentucky and the school’s own earlier results. The main takeaway is that academic results are mixed and often below state figures, with clear differences by grade and subject.

Augusta Independent School’s strongest reported 2025–26 comparison was 10th-grade math: 47% proficient, 7 percentage points above the state’s 40%.

Across grades with reported results, reading averaged 40% at the school versus 49% statewide, while social studies averaged 33% versus 38%. Results also varied within subjects: reading ranged from 26% to 59% at the school, while state reading results ranged from 49% to 54%. Graduation (96% versus 94%), dropout (0% versus 1%), and chronic absenteeism (14% versus 24%) compared favorably with state figures.

Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26, so a single trend does not describe every grade. Among 14 matched grade-and-subject comparisons, six school results rose, one stayed the same, and seven fell; on average, the school–state gap widened by 2 percentage points per comparison. Social studies rose from 21% to 42% in grade 5 and from 31% to 42% in grade 8, but fell from 31% to 14% in grade 11. Reading also improved in grades 3 and 10 but declined in grades 7 and 8. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 14.8 in 2024–25, and 55% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These figures offer context, not an explanation for academic results.
