Augusta’s schools, in brief
Which school depends on your street
With three elementary schools, the school a child attends depends on your address. Elementary grades range from C+ to A, so it’s worth checking the specific school, not just the town. After that, everyone goes to Augusta Middle School and Augusta Sr High. See the path ↓
Average results for less money
Augusta spends 17% less per student than the state average, yet lands near the middle on results. Classes aren’t bigger for it: each teacher has about 13 students, compared with 14 statewide. Test scores ↓

How Augusta compares
How the School Grade works
- Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on Kansas’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
- The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
- Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of Kansas only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
- What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
