Summary:

The 13021 zip code area of Auburn, New York is home to 5 elementary schools that are part of the Auburn City School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face significant challenges, with the district ranking 775 out of 874 in New York and having a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the schools, Owasco Elementary School stands out as the highest performer, with the strongest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across most grade levels. Herman Avenue Elementary School also shows promise, with the highest 5th grade ELA proficiency and strong performance in 5th grade Math and Science. However, the majority of the schools in this area struggle, with many grades having proficiency rates below 20%.

The high levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 46% to 84%, likely contribute to the overall underperformance of these schools compared to state averages. Despite the relatively high spending per student, the schools are still underperforming, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach is needed to address the unique challenges faced by these communities and improve educational outcomes.
