GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I transferred to North Augusta at the start of my freshman yeah. I had come from a small-town school with barely more than a 100 students per year level. It was shocking at first, but I soon got comfortable with the school due to the kindness of everyone there.

the school was a fun and good environment for learning and social connection, but a lot of shooting and other safety threats happened there and there are often a lot of drugs used in and around the school

My experience at North Augusta High school has been such a fun, and memorable time in my 4 years of attending high school. I've enjoyed participating in clubs like S2S, NHS, and Spanish Club. My school's student section is classified to be one of the best, and being part of the student section has to be one the best part of attending North Augusta High School. I love how everyone is so involved with the school, and the teachers are amazing as well.

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.
