Summary:
The Augusta County Public Schools district in Virginia comprises 18 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds across the region.
Among the standout schools in the district, Riverheads High School consistently ranks among the top in the state, with a statewide rank of 60 out of 326 Virginia high schools and a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Other high-performing high schools include Fort Defiance High and Buffalo Gap High, both of which have earned 4-star ratings. At the elementary level, Craigsville Elementary stands out for having the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district.
The schools in the district exhibit varying levels of racial diversity, with some, like Wilson Elementary, having a more diverse student population compared to others, such as Riverheads High. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 38.15% at Riverheads High to 100% at Craigsville Elementary, indicating significant economic disparities across the district. The wide range in spending per student, from $9,214 at Riverheads Elementary to $15,771 at Craigsville Elementary, also raises questions about equitable resource allocation within the district.
