Summary:

Three elementary schools serve the Auburn, Georgia area—Mulberry Elementary School in Gwinnett County, plus Auburn Elementary School and Bramlett Elementary School in Barrow County—collectively serving about 2,095 students in grades PK-5.

There is a stark performance divide within this same community. Mulberry Elementary is the clear standout, earning 4-star ratings for three straight years and ranking in the 80th percentile statewide. It beats state averages by roughly 15 points in 3rd-grade math and nearly 19 points in 5th-grade science. Bramlett Elementary is a consistent mid-tier performer with 3-star ratings, showing particular strength in math—outperforming its district by 7 to 13 points across all grade levels—though its 5th-grade science lags the state by nearly 9 points. Auburn Elementary struggles significantly, earning just 1 star and ranking in the 24th percentile. Its 3rd-grade math proficiency (25.8%) trails Mulberry by 37 points, and its 5th-grade science (24.0%) is 39 points behind.

Notably, resources don't explain the gap. Auburn Elementary actually spends the most per student ($18,228) and has the smallest class sizes (10.1 ratio), yet produces the weakest results. All three schools have impressively low chronic absenteeism—between 8.4% and 11.2%, well below the 17.7% state average—so attendance isn't the issue. Auburn Elementary does have a higher free/reduced lunch rate (67.4%) than its counterparts (both around 51%), which may contribute to its challenges. For parents, Mulberry offers the strongest academics, Bramlett provides solid math instruction, and Auburn faces significant hurdles despite ample funding.
