Summary:
Auburn CUSD 10 has four schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Auburn Elementary School (PK–2), Auburn Middle School (grades 3–5), Auburn Junior High at Divernon (grades 6–8), and Auburn High School (grades 9–12). The latest test results are from 2025–26. Auburn Elementary’s IAR results are suppressed, so its performance cannot be compared. The clearest pattern is strong ELA performance at the junior high alongside a substantial math concern at the high school.
Auburn Junior High stands out in ELA: its all-grades result was 83%, 27 percentage points above the state’s 56%, and it exceeded state results in each of grades 6–8 by 18–27 points. Auburn Middle also topped the state in ELA in grades 3–5, by 2–13 points; its all-grades result was 59%. In math, the two schools were near the state result: Auburn Middle scored 40%, Junior High 39%, and the state 40%. The clearest low result was at Auburn High, where grade 11 ACT math proficiency was 24%, 16 points below the state’s 40%; its ELA and science results were 2 and 5 points below state, respectively.
Recent trends are mixed: Auburn High and Auburn Middle improved in SchoolDigger rankings, from the 36th to 50th percentile and 33rd to 49th, respectively, between 2023–24 and 2025–26; Junior High was at the 67th percentile in both years. High School grade 11 ACT ELA and math fell 12 and 13 points from the prior year, while grade 10 PreACT results rose 17–18 points across subjects. Attendance is another consideration: Junior High had the highest chronic absenteeism at 24%, compared with 20% at High School, 15% at Auburn Middle, and 9% at Elementary. Student–teacher ratios range from 11.8 to 13.5. All four schools report free/reduced lunch eligible shares of 40%–46% for 2024–25, a contextual measure that does not explain school results.
