Summary

Pick Elementary School in Auburn, AL, serves 464 students in grades 3-5 within the highly regarded Auburn City district, which ranks in the top 10% of districts statewide. The school consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts, with 3rd graders hitting 81.76% proficiency compared to the state's 64.75%, and it maintains an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.0%—far better than the state average of 12.0% and the district's 7.7%.

Pick Elementary stands out for its remarkable support of specific student groups. The school ranks in the top 8% statewide for special education outcomes and in the top 10% for English Language Learner performance, demonstrating that its teaching strategies work well across diverse learning needs. Multi-racial students also thrive here, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide. The school serves a moderately diverse population, with about 38% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch—a slightly higher percentage than nearby Ogletree Elementary School (35.8%) and Wrights Mill Road Elementary School (34.8%)—yet Pick achieves comparable or better academic results, suggesting efficient use of its mid-range per-student spending of $10,972.

While the school's overall state ranking has eased from 39th in 2022-2023 to 75th in 2025-2026, it remains in the 89th percentile statewide. Mathematics presents a mixed picture: 4th graders exceed the district average (73.01% vs. 67.11%), but 3rd graders lag behind (61.82% vs. 68.98%), pointing to a possible area for growth. The student-teacher ratio has improved dramatically from 25:1 to 16.1:1 over two years, signaling increased investment in staffing. For parents, Pick offers a stable, caring environment with strong literacy outcomes, exceptional attendance culture, and proven success in lifting up students who need extra support—all within one of Alabama's top school districts.
