Summary

North Augusta Middle is a public school in North Augusta, SC, serving 492 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Aiken 01 school district. The school has earned a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, placing it in the mid-to-upper tier of South Carolina middle schools.

The most impressive highlight is the school's Algebra 1 program. In the 2023-2024 school year, 100% of students scored proficient on the end-of-course exam, far exceeding the state average of 72.5%. This means your child will be exceptionally well-prepared for advanced math if they qualify for this track. English Language Arts is another consistent strength, with proficiency rates in the high 50s to low 60s across all grade levels—beating district averages by 6 to 8 percentage points. The school also showed remarkable improvement in math, jumping from roughly 24-35% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 41-47% in 2025-2026, signaling a successful overhaul of math instruction. Additionally, the school performs strongly with its African American students, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, North Augusta Middle sits in a competitive cluster with Paul Knox Middle and Highland Springs Middle, all ranking in the top third of the state, while Langley-Bath-Clearwater Middle and Leavelle McCampbell Middle lag significantly behind. One area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which hovers around 22%—meaning over one in five students miss substantial school time. The school also struggles with its Hispanic student population (2-star rating) and has historically shown weak outcomes for disabled students. With per-student spending of $11,811 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.2, the school offers a balanced resource allocation compared to peers like New Ellenton STEAM Magnet Middle ($14,677 per student).
