Summary

Auburn Senior High is the only public high school serving Auburn, a town just south of Worcester, with about 834 students in grades 9–12. In 2025–26 it ranked 186th of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 47th percentile, or 2 stars — putting it near the middle of the state pack after years in the 50th–71st percentile range.

Against nearby schools, Auburn leads the local field but by a slim margin. It outranks University Pk Campus School (45th percentile) and Leicester High (43rd), and sits well ahead of Doherty Memorial High, Millbury Junior/Senior High, Oxford High, and Worcester's South High Community, North High, and Claremont Academy. On 2025–26 10th-grade MCAS, Auburn's proficiency was 38.07% in ELA, 41.95% in Math, and 37.35% in Science — above most neighbors but below the state (45.48%, 43.73%, 40.50%) in every subject. Its graduation rate is 92.7% with a 5.1% dropout rate, the highest among its small suburban peers. Auburn spends less per student ($15,188 in 2020–21) than most nearby schools, with a 12.0 student–teacher ratio.

The main story is a two-year slide: percentile rank fell from 71% (2023–24) to 47%, and ELA proficiency dropped from 64.8% to 38.07% over the same span, with similar declines in Math and Science. The drop spans many student groups, including low-income and special education students, so it looks school-wide rather than isolated to one group. Meanwhile the dropout rate rose from 0.5% (2022–23) to 5.1% (2024–25). Auburn remains a solid local option, but the next reporting cycles will show whether 2023–24 was a high point or an outlier.
