W.S. Hornsby Middle School

Hornsby Middle sits in Augusta's historic riverside corridor, a city with deep roots in Southern culture and a growing medical and tech sector anchored by Augusta University. Families choosing this school should go in with eyes open — academic performance here is among the most challenging in the state, and students would likely benefit from strong parental involvement and supplemental support at home. For families committed to staying in the area and engaged in their child's education, there's an opportunity to be part of a community that clearly needs and could benefit from dedicated, invested families showing up for it.
