History of Augusta Schools

The Augusta Area School District, located in Eau Claire County in West Central Wisconsin, is a Pre-K-12 public school system. Our purpose is to provide our students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes which will help them become successful in an ever-changing society.

The District is comprised of a middle school/high school building which consists of students in grades 6-12, an elementary building consisting of students in grades PK-5, and a project-based charter school consisting of students in grades 7-12. 

There are 59 certified staff members and 35 support staff. We have one superintendent, an elementary principal, and a middle/high school principal. Augusta is predominantly Caucasian with a 0.6% Native American, 0.4% Black American, and 3.6% Hispanic population. Augusta Elementary is a SAGE school in grades K-3.
