Summary

Auburn Elementary School serves approximately 678 students in grades PK-5 in Auburn, GA, as part of Barrow County Schools.

For the 2025-2026 school year, Auburn Elementary ranks in the 24th percentile statewide, a decline from the previous year's 41st percentile. Math proficiency rates are below district and state averages in most grades—for example, 3rd grade math sits at 25.8% proficient compared to the state's 48.3%, and 5th grade science is at 24.0% versus the state's 44.2%. The gap is especially noticeable when compared to nearby schools like Duncan Creek Elementary in Gwinnett County, which ranks in the 91st percentile with math proficiency rates between 67.4% and 79.3%. Even within the same district, Bramlett Elementary School, just over two miles away, ranks in the 61st percentile and posts math scores roughly double Auburn's in most grades. It's worth noting that the most recent test release does not include English Language Arts scores; those results will be published in December.

Despite these academic challenges, Auburn Elementary shows several notable strengths. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 40.2% in 2021-2022 to just 11.2% in 2025-2026—now better than both the district (17.0%) and state (17.7%) averages. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.1:1, lower than most nearby schools. Additionally, per-student spending is high at $18,228, exceeding every comparison school in the area, including Winder Elementary School ($17,809) and Dacula Elementary School ($15,182). However, this higher spending has not yet translated into higher test scores, raising questions about resource allocation. The school's special education students rank in the 45th percentile, which is relatively stronger than the overall school ranking, suggesting some targeted support is working. With improved attendance and a low student-teacher ratio, Auburn Elementary has a foundation to build on, but significant work remains to close the achievement gap with neighboring schools.

Open Quote My son has been placed in EIP for 3 years. we have seen little improvement. We were originally zoned for Bramlett. Had I known then what I know now, we would not have allowed him to be moved. Close Quote
