Auburn Elementary School

Summary:

Auburn Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 766 students in grades PK-5 in Auburn, Georgia, which is part of the Barrow County School District. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom 25% of Georgia elementary schools.

Despite spending between $8,812 to $10,438 per student, which is on the higher end for the district, Auburn Elementary has struggled with academic achievement. In 2023-2024, only 19.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 27.7% in Barrow County and 38.4% statewide. The school has maintained a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 5 years, indicating significant room for improvement. Additionally, Auburn Elementary serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.16% to 61.23% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Auburn Elementary to other schools in the Barrow County district, as well as some nearby schools in the Gwinnett County district, Auburn consistently ranks lower and performs worse academically. For example, Duncan Creek Elementary and Bramlett Elementary, both in Gwinnett County, significantly outperform Auburn Elementary on test scores, suggesting that the challenges faced by Auburn Elementary may be unique and require targeted interventions to address the underlying issues.

My son has been placed in EIP for 3 years. we have seen little improvement. We were originally zoned for Bramlett. Had I known then what I know now, we would not have allowed him to be moved. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
