Summary

North Augusta High is a public high school serving 1,697 students in grades 9-12 in North Augusta, South Carolina. The school is part of the Aiken 01 school district, which is ranked 39 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, North Augusta High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 31st out of 225 South Carolina high schools in 2018-2019 to 137th out of 235 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. This is in contrast to nearby schools like South Aiken High and Aiken Scholars Academy, which have maintained higher rankings and ratings. North Augusta High's performance across different student subgroups is mixed, with lower rankings for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as students with disabilities and low socioeconomic status.

North Augusta High has also seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, from 90.5% in 2022-2023 to 84.5% in 2023-2024, and an increase in its dropout rate from 2.8% to 3.4% during the same period. The school's test scores in various End-of-Course (EOC) exams are generally lower than the Aiken 01 district and the state averages, particularly in Algebra 1. Compared to nearby schools, North Augusta High's performance is weaker, and its higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds and lower per-student spending may be contributing factors to these challenges.
