School Reviews
4 7/1/2019
Both of my children have attended New Augusta South and North and both are Honor Roll Students and have gone on to complete their education at Pike High School. I believe a good education can be obtained as long as there are parents that stay involved. Yes, all schools have discipline issues but a few unruly children should not be able to paint an entire school district as bad.

This is the Worst School I have Ever been to and I would not Recommend this school at all! so if you live in pike township, the schools are not just how they use to be anymore. and In the hallways kids being playing around and fights going on teachers are overwhelmed, now the good teachers who worked there moved to better schools in different school districts. and really this school shouldn't be labeled as an Academy. so don't recommend This School or Lincoln or any school in pike that is not the school for your child.
