Summary:
The Auburn City School District in New York is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the schools generally underperform compared to state averages on academic assessments, a few standout institutions emerge from the data.
Herman Avenue Elementary School and Owasco Elementary School demonstrate relatively strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state in many subjects. These schools also maintain smaller class sizes and moderate per-student spending. In contrast, Casey Park Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates across most grade levels and subjects.
Socioeconomic challenges appear to be a significant factor, as all schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 45.68% to 82.87%. The data does not show a clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, suggesting the need for the district to identify and share best practices from the higher-performing schools, while also implementing targeted interventions to support the lower-performing institutions.
