The Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools district, of which GalesburgAugusta Middle School is a part, is ranked 322 out of 610 districts in Michigan and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This suggests broader systemic issues within the district that may be affecting the performance of the lone middle school.
