Summary:

The Auburn City school district operates 10 elementary schools serving approximately 4,317 students across a split-campus model, with five schools covering grades K-2 and five covering grades 3-5, all located in a highly ranked Alabama district sitting at the 90th percentile statewide.

For parents exploring this area, the standout school is Creekside Elementary School, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide and posts exceptional early-grade scores—its 3rd-grade math proficiency of 81.41% is 12.43 points above the district average, though this advantage fades by 5th grade. The highest-ranked upper elementary school is Wrights Mill Road Elementary School at 51st of 686 schools (93rd percentile), which also boasts the best student-teacher ratio at 14.4:1. For efficiency, Margaret Yarbrough Elementary School spends the least per student ($9,792) yet still achieves an 87th percentile ranking with strong 5th-grade math scores. Ogletree Elementary School has the best attendance with just 2.1% chronic absenteeism, nearly six times better than the state average, though its rankings have slipped slightly.

District-wide, math proficiency gaps over the state are substantial, widening from +24.09 points in 3rd grade to +31.42 points in 5th grade, while English gaps remain smaller at +12.45 to +17.89 points. All schools keep chronic absenteeism between 2.1% and 6.6%, far below the 12% state average, and free/reduced lunch rates range from 30.57% to 44.72% without hindering performance. Notably, spending shows no correlation with outcomes—Auburn Early Education Center has the highest poverty rate yet feeds into a system where all upper elementary schools rank in the 87th-93rd percentile. The smallest school, Woodland Pines Elementary School, appears newer with no rank history but integrates well. While no school cracks the top 50 statewide, the district's uniform excellence—with no weak schools—makes it a standout choice for families seeking consistent, high-quality elementary education in Alabama.
