I have been involved with the school for about 8 years with both of my brothers attending and I have to say I think that North Augusta is a fine school, but I do think that there needs to be some work on what how we let student teachers teach the class because I have had my entire pre calculus class be introduced a new topic in such a way that each and every student had gotten below a 50 in on the test.

It is a good school overall, it just does poorly with announcements and letting other individuals know about other activities.

For the most part, the facility itself and the teachers and counselors were very helpful. The academics were standard and I feel in no way there was a gap in education compared to other schools. However, when it comes to the culture, it is different. They do not really embrace diversity and inclusion and it seems like everything was so political when it came to ideas and changes wanting to be seen by parents, students, and alumni.

What many don't understand and have complained about is that the money spent on any of the sports at school is all raised from the booster clubs, expect the new field that is the only money Aiken County has give to the school...

Having 3 different students who attended 3 different schools in the AIken/Augusta area, I feel I've let the oldest 2 down because they attended another school. I LOVE this school all the way from the custodians to the teachers to the administrators. My daughter actually looked forward to starting ba...
