Best Public Schools in Auburn, KS

Summary:

The city of Auburn, Kansas has only one school, Auburn Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 348 students. The school is part of the Auburn-Washburn school district, which is ranked 89 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Auburn Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, indicating average performance compared to other elementary schools in Kansas. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some stronger performance in 5th-grade Science. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year is relatively high, which could be an area of concern.

In terms of resources, Auburn Elementary spends $9,123 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1, which is relatively low. These factors suggest the school may have the necessary funding and staffing to support student learning, though further analysis would be needed to determine if the school is receiving adequate resources compared to its peers.
