Summary

Walton School is a small elementary school in Auburn Public Schools district, serving 152 students in grades PK-6. The school has shown steady academic improvement, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), outperforming the district and state averages in 2024-2025.

Walton School's academic performance is notably stronger than other Auburn Public Schools elementary schools, such as Washburn School and Park Avenue Elementary School. However, Fairview School, also part of the Auburn district, outperforms Walton School in both ELA and Math. The nearby Lewiston Public Schools elementary schools, like Raymond A. Geiger Elementary and Thomas J. McMahon Elementary, consistently underperform Walton School.

Despite the school's academic strengths, Walton School faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.5% to 27.2% over the past few years. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75.66% to 81.98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues could be a key focus area for the school and district to ensure more equitable and successful outcomes for all students.
