Summary

Auburn Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 718 students in grades PK-5 in Auburn, Georgia, which is part of the Barrow County School District. While the district is ranked 103 out of 206 in the state, Auburn Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the county and state averages on standardized tests, with only 27.5% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 34.9% statewide.

Auburn Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past 10 years, from 609 out of 1,233 Georgia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 727 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025, and it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.23% to 73.68% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby Barrow County elementary schools. Despite spending more per student ($10,438 in 2018-2019) than the other Barrow County elementary schools analyzed ($8,866 to $10,751 per student), Auburn Elementary's academic performance remains low.

When compared to the Gwinnett County elementary schools near the Barrow County border, the Gwinnett schools significantly outperform Auburn Elementary across all academic measures, highlighting the disparity in performance between the two districts. While Auburn Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to the other schools analyzed, ranging from 12.1 to 12.9 students per teacher, this smaller class size has not translated to better academic outcomes for the school.

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
