This school is an amazing school. All of my friends enjoyed learning at this elementary school. Even kids that had only been at this Elementary school for a year said that it was the best school in Auburn. All of the staff at Wrights Mill Road are very friendly and the school has a very positive atmosphere! I will never forget my time at Wrights Mill. Close Quote
