School Overview

Westside High School sits in one of Augusta's more established neighborhoods, drawing families who want a solid public school option in a city better known for its golf tournament than its academics. The numbers here are modest — hovering around the bottom quarter statewide — so families with high academic expectations may want to look closely at course offerings, extracurriculars, and teacher tenure before committing. That said, Augusta itself has a lot going for it: a low cost of living, a growing medical and tech sector, and a genuine sense of Southern community that can make it a great place to put down roots.
