I have been attending Aiken County Public Schools since I began school. I started off in elementary at Jefferson. I later went on to go to Aiken Elementary. I formed very strong bonds with many of my teachers. They pushed me to do my best and achieve great things. I went to Schofield Middle after elementary. This is where I was introduced to many different cultures. I expanded my friend group tremendously, and gained knowledge on all types of different races. I was also introduced to cheerleading. I had a coach who made us work to our full potential. I saw how much hard work paid off! I completed Schofield, and went on to start high school at Aiken High School. I am currently enrolled at this school as a senior. Aiken High has a beautiful new campus and I am more than honored to have be among the first students to study in our new school! Aiken High has great staff that will make sure you do what is needed to graduate. They are very motivational and they love to see students succeed.
I feel like they could update their school policies a little and invest in getting some better teachers. Before i graduated at one of my schools in the district they targeted girls with the dress code. What was okay for guys to wear was not okay for girls to wear. One teacher even got made she could see a bra strap barely. The girl was wearing a t-shirt which covered everything. I just feel as though they were unfair with some things. With the teachers some didn't even teach. I went half a year without an English teacher my 12th grade year. They kept getting subs and never told the subs what we needed to do so we didn't know what we needed to learn and get done. It was stressful when we finally had an English teacher because she thought we were taught things we were not taught so we were not only behind but we were so behind it was impossible to catch up, so we started right along as if we had learned what we didnt.
Personally, I go to North Augusta high school within the Aiken County school district. North Augusta High School is an AP (advanced placement) school that is great for college readiness, academics, clubs, and sports. It is a dream high school! However, some things, like training of staff against harassment, bullying, and gun threats, could be better. (On behalf of the whole district).
