Best Public Schools in Auburn, KS

Summary:

The city of Auburn, Kansas has just one public elementary school, Auburn Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Auburn-Washburn school district. Despite being the sole elementary school in the city, Auburn Elementary stands out as a relatively strong-performing school within the state of Kansas, ranking in the top half of all elementary schools.

Auburn Elementary's academic performance on state assessments is consistently above the Kansas state average, with a higher percentage of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.5 is also lower than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. Additionally, the school serves a diverse student population, with over 34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Auburn Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 238th to 349th out of all Kansas elementary schools, the school's overall academic performance and smaller class sizes suggest it is providing a quality education to its students. The school's spending per student of $9,123 (in the 2018-2019 school year) is a relevant data point, though more context would be needed to determine if this level of spending is adequate or optimal for the school's needs.
