It is the only school district covering sections of Aiken County, and it covers the majority of the county.[1] Additionally, it covers portions of Saluda County, where it includes that county's portion of Monetta, as well as Ridge Spring and Ward.[2]
The remaining portion of Aiken County is not in any school district.[1] The 2010 U.S. Census stated that this portion was in "School District Not Defined".[3] That undefined portion corresponds with the Savannah River Site.[4]
History
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (October 2024)
In 2019 the district's population was increasing.[5] In 2018 the district held a referendum to enact a bond to build new schools, and the referendum was approved.[6] As a result, the district planned to build and/or renovate 15 schools.[5]
King Laurence was superintendent until the end of the 2023–2024 school year.[7] Laurence had retired from his career. Corey Murphy became the new superintendent starting the 2024–2025 school year.[8] The handover occurred on July 1, 2024.[9]
In 2024 it had about 700 students. The facility was built with money from a 2018 bond and opened in fall 2023, though its ribbon cutting ceremony happened in spring 2024.[10]
