Summary:
The 41002 zip code is home to a single school, Augusta Independent School, an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 317 students. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.5%, its academic performance on standardized tests, such as the ACT and Kentucky State Assessments, is generally below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Despite the school's lower proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics and reading, it serves a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage (61.51%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges in supporting its students' academic success. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.4 indicates a relatively favorable learning environment.
As an alternative school serving a wide range of grade levels, Augusta Independent School may have a different educational approach and student population compared to traditional elementary, middle, and high schools. This could contribute to the observed performance metrics, and the school may have opportunities to focus on improving student outcomes in core subject areas where they lag behind state averages.
