Summary

Wrights Mill Road Elementary School in Auburn, AL, serves 388 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the highly rated Auburn City school district, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional attendance record—only 3.6% of students are chronically absent, compared to 7.7% district-wide and 12% across Alabama. That means your child is far more likely to be in class every day, which sets a strong foundation for learning. Wrights Mill Road also excels with English Language Learners, ranking 6th out of 143 schools statewide for this group, and shows remarkable results for multi-racial students, who rank in the 97th percentile. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 14.4:1, your child will get more individual attention than at nearby Ogletree Elementary School (18.1:1) or Pick Elementary School (16.1:1). Academically, the school leads its peers in 5th grade English (86% proficient) and 4th grade science (77% proficient), outperforming all comparable schools in the district.

One thing to keep in mind: while the school performs very well overall, there is a gap for students from low-income backgrounds. This subgroup ranks in the 88th percentile—strong compared to the state, but the lowest-performing group at the school. The school has maintained a 5-star rating every year since 2015, showing remarkable consistency. It receives students from Dean Road Elementary School and Auburn Early Education Center, both of which have higher absenteeism rates, suggesting the transition to Wrights Mill Road has a positive effect on attendance. For comparison, West Forest Intermediate School in nearby Opelika, just 5 miles away, ranks in the 25th percentile—a stark contrast that highlights the strength of this school and its district.

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
