Auburn Public Schools

Summary:

The Auburn Public Schools district in Maine consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools within the district, with some standout institutions like East Auburn Community School and Fairview School ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

East Auburn Community School and Fairview School boast the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, schools like Sherwood Heights Elementary and Washburn School rank in the bottom 30% of Maine elementary schools. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, as well as socioeconomic disparities reflected in the varying percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Edward Little High School maintains a respectable 87.8% four-year graduation rate, the district's overall academic performance is marked by significant gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of resource allocation to ensure more equitable support for all students within the Auburn Public Schools district.
