Summary

Auburn Junior High School is a public middle school serving 619 students in grades 7-8 in Auburn, New York. The school is part of the Auburn City School District, which is ranked 775 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($22,788 in 2023-2024) than the state average, Auburn Junior High School consistently performs below the state average on New York State Assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.75% of 7th graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 50.99%, and only 38.2% were proficient in math compared to 56.47% statewide. The school's performance has been declining over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 889 out of 1,407 middle schools in 2014-2015 to 1,182 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025.

However, the school excels in Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Earth Science and Algebra I in recent years, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. This suggests that students are capable of achieving at high levels when provided with the right support and resources. The school's high poverty rates, with over 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicate significant economic challenges faced by the school community, which may contribute to the overall academic struggles.
