Summary

Auburn Middle is a grades 6–8 middle school in Warrenton, Virginia, serving 570 students as part of Fauquier County Public Schools. It ranks 75th out of 416 Virginia middle schools, placing it in the 82nd percentile and earning a 4-star rating.

Academically, Auburn is the highest-ranked middle school in Fauquier County, clearly outperforming W.C. Taylor Middle, Marshall Middle, and Cedar Lee Middle on state assessments. SOL proficiency rates are above district and state averages in nearly every subject, but mathematics is a particular standout. Auburn’s 7th and 8th grade math scores surpass those of larger nearby Prince William County schools such as Ronald Wilson Reagan Middle, Gainesville Middle, and E.H. Marsteller Middle. Advanced math students also post exceptional results, with a 100% pass rate in Algebra I and Geometry.

Beyond test scores, Auburn shows strong upward momentum, climbing from the 59th to the 82nd percentile over the past four years. The school also serves its student subgroups well; low-income, Hispanic, and disabled students all rank in the 75th percentile or higher statewide. A very low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.9% and a favorable 12.8 student-teacher ratio contribute to a stable and supportive environment. Auburn achieves these results while spending about $10,689 per student—less than nearby Marshall Middle—making it an especially effective and efficient choice for families in Warrenton.
