Our Story

Gracewood Elementary School is located in Augusta, GA, the third largest city in the state. Augusta is widely known as the home of The Masters Golf Tournament. City attractions include the James Brown Arena and Fort Discovery. The Richmond County School System is made up of 55 schools and proudly educates over 30,000 students. Gracewood Elementary holds much history. The school was established in 1890 serving the families of the Gracewood Community in South Richmond County. Gracewood Elementary is credited with providing the first “school bus” in Richmond County. It was a horse and buggy that was driven by the school principal. The current school building still sits on the same grounds as the original building. Renovations and remodeling have resulted in the building as it is known today.

College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) is Georgia’s statewide accountability system. The CCRPI assesses how well students are prepared for college and careers, and ensures that schools are focused on improving achievement among all students. The index measures student achievement on indicators such as content mastery, student growth on progress, subgroup performance on closing gaps, and various areas including Lexile performance, attendance, and other academic based measurements. Schools earn CCRPI points based on indicators that vary by grade and school level and align with measures of college- and career-readiness.  Each individual component score is on a scale of 0-100.
