Known previously as Richmond County Military Academy, it is commonly known as Richmond Academy or ARC. Chartered in 1783, it claims to be the fifth oldest existing public high school in the United States, and the oldest existing public high school in the Southern United States.[4] But it did not become a public high school until the second half of the 20th century, so some education historians dispute these claims. Richmond Academy is located at the edge of the Summerville historic district of Augusta.

During the last half of the 20th century, Richmond Academy transitioned into a co-educational, traditional public high school. It has maintained a strong military Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps available to youths to enlist in. The original Richmond Academy building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. President George Washington delivered the commencement address at the graduation ceremonies at ARC in 1791. In 1926, the academy moved to its present-day building on Walton Way. Principal Major George Butler described the school in 1927 as "second to none in the South in terms of facility."{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} The 1926 building was designed in Gothic-style architecture. Up until the 1950s, ARC was for white males only. The 1951–1957 Richmond Academy boys' baseball team was ranked as one of the top 10 Georgia state sports dynasties.[6] It has teams in many sports. During the 1950s the school became coeducational, admitting girls. In 1964, the school began to admit minorities and became desegregated. Contemporary Richmond AcademyAcademicsThe Academy of Richmond County has 1,347 students in grades 9 through 12, with a student to faculty ratio of 16:1. It offers many Advanced Placement courses and an International Baccalaureate Programme course of study was added to the school in July 2003. It is for its highly motivated, college preparatory students.[7] ARC is one of three schools in the Central Savannah River Area that offers an IB program.
