Best Public Schools in Auburn, NY

Summary:

The Auburn City School District in New York consists of 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves the city of Auburn, which has a population of around 27,000 people. The data reveals a mix of performance across the schools, with some standout institutions as well as areas in need of improvement.

Auburn High School is the largest school in the district with 1,183 students and strong performance on Regents exams, but it also has a high chronic absenteeism rate and a relatively low 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, Auburn Junior High School has very low proficiency on state assessments despite exceptional Regents exam results in certain subjects. The elementary schools show wide disparities, with William H Seward Elementary having the highest per-student spending but below-average test scores.

Overall, the data suggests the Auburn City School District faces significant challenges, particularly at the secondary level, with low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and uneven academic performance across schools. Addressing these disparities and improving outcomes for all students will likely require a multi-faceted approach targeting both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.
