Summary:
The three schools in Auburn Union Elementary serve grades K–8 and enroll 411 to 501 students each. In 2025–2026, their unweighted average proficiency was 33% in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math and 29% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest takeaway is that the area average falls below the state in all three subjects, but that average hides a wide divide among schools.
Skyridge Elementary stands out at the top: it led in every all-grade subject, with 49% proficient in ELA, 42% in math and 43% in science. It was just below the state in ELA and above it by 4 percentage points in math and 7 in science. At the other end, Auburn Elementary had the lowest results in all three subjects: 20% in ELA, 16% in math and 14% in science. EV Cain Elementary falls between them overall, but has a grade-level bright spot: in grade 5, it led the schools in ELA at 53% and science at 47%, above state rates by 3 and 12 points. SchoolDigger ranks Skyridge 2,143rd of 5,804 schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars), EV Cain 4,130th (29th percentile, 1 star) and Auburn 5,451st (6th percentile, 0 stars).
Recent results also distinguish the schools: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Skyridge improved in all three subjects, while Auburn’s math rose by 2 points as its ELA and science fell, and EV Cain’s science rose by 2 points as its ELA and math fell. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking rose from 61st to 63rd for Skyridge over the years supplied, while Auburn’s fell from 14th to 6th. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 49% at Skyridge, 69% at EV Cain and 84% at Auburn; these are context, not an explanation for scores. Student-teacher ratios were 19.7 at Skyridge, 17.0 at EV Cain and 21.7 at Auburn.
