Summary:

ZIP code 24149 (Riner, VA) contains three public schools serving a combined 1,246 students, all part of Montgomery County Public Schools, a district ranked 51st out of 131 Virginia districts with a 3-star rating. The schools include Auburn Elementary (grades PK-5, 544 students), Auburn Middle (grades 6-8, 309 students), and Auburn High (grades 9-12, 393 students).

Auburn Elementary is the clear standout in this ZIP code, earning 4 stars and ranking 256th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (77th percentile). It outperforms the state in nearly every subject, including 4th grade math (90.6% vs. 73.3% statewide) and 5th grade science (83.3% vs. 68.8%), while posting a remarkably low 5.6% chronic absenteeism rate. By comparison, Auburn Middle and Auburn High each earned just 2 stars. Auburn Middle posts perfect scores in advanced math courses (100% in Algebra I and Geometry), yet its 6th grade math proficiency is only 31.5% vs. 63.2% statewide, revealing a stark "two-track" pattern. Auburn High boasts a strong 95.9% graduation rate and perfect scores in Algebra II and 9th grade Biology, but its ranking has been volatile, swinging from the 79th percentile in 2023-2024 to 36th in 2024-2025 and back to 48th in 2025-2026.

Several trends stand out for families. Chronic absenteeism rises steadily with grade level, from 5.6% at Auburn Elementary to 9.8% at Auburn Middle and 13.2% at Auburn High, though all remain below state averages. Spending per student also varies considerably, from $9,347 at Auburn Elementary to $12,984 at Auburn High. Auburn Elementary showed meaningful year-over-year improvement, with 5th grade science jumping from 67.8% to 83.3% proficiency and 5th grade math rising from 75.6% to 89.4%. While all three schools share the same 3-star district rating, families in ZIP 24149 can expect a consistently strong elementary experience followed by a more varied middle and high school experience that features excellent advanced coursework and strong graduation outcomes but mixed results at the grade level.
