Summary:

The 62615 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Auburn Elementary School and Auburn Middle School) and 1 high school (Auburn High School) - all part of the Auburn CUSD 10 district.

While Auburn Elementary School was once a top-performing school, its ranking has declined in recent years. In contrast, Auburn High School has seen a more significant drop in its statewide ranking, from 275 in 2022-2023 to 446 in 2023-2024. The high school also struggles with low proficiency rates in SAT Math (7.8%) and ELA (21.1%), well below the state averages.

While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, the data suggests a need for targeted strategies to address the declining academic performance and support the diverse student population in the 62615 zip code area.
