Summary

Fox Creek High is a public charter school in North Augusta, SC, serving 672 students in grades 9-12 within the School Public Charter School District. This school stands out for its exceptional student success metrics, particularly its 95.8% graduation rate—far exceeding the state average of 86.7% and dramatically outperforming its own district's 77.4% rate. Its dropout rate of just 0.3% is nearly negligible compared to the state's 2.1% and the district's 5.9%. These outcomes rival or surpass nearby traditional high schools like North Augusta High (90.7% graduation) and Aiken High (79.8% graduation).

Academically, Fox Creek demonstrates a notable strength in English, with 91.39% of students scoring proficient on the English 2 EOCEP exam—well above the state average of 83.79% and better than all nearby schools except the highly selective Aiken Scholars Academy. However, math performance tells a different story: Algebra 1 proficiency has been volatile, swinging from 47.54% in 2023-2024 to 89.99% in 2025-2026, suggesting an area where curriculum consistency could be improved. The school also achieves these results with remarkable efficiency, spending just $9,211 per student—significantly less than nearby schools like Strom Thurmond High ($17,471) and Midland Valley High ($13,000+).

While the school's overall performance is strong, there are areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism has risen sharply from 3.5% in 2021-2022 to 22.5% in 2024-2025, now matching the state average. Additionally, while female students perform well (72nd percentile statewide), male students sit closer to the state average (60th percentile). For parents considering options in the North Augusta area, Fox Creek offers a cost-effective, high-performing alternative to traditional public schools—delivering strong graduation outcomes and English proficiency without the resource-intensive approach of elite magnet programs like Aiken Scholars Academy, which spends over four times more per student.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, June 12, 2017

The original purpose of FC was in backlash to the district not wanting to build a centralized high school. SInce then it has turned into an 'alternative' school for athletes who otherwise would never play at the larger high schools, students whose parents would rather have them to go to a mostly white school with minimal diversity. The high school several years ago was said to not have a library, but did have a weight room... A high school...without a proper library which to read the classic comedies or tragedies, to study in, to research.. High school should be fun, sports are great, but not elementary challenging, nor athletics first, bones breaks and ligaments tear. Close Quote
