Summary:

Auburn School District includes 25 schools serving elementary, middle, high-school, and alternative students in the Auburn area, with approximately 18,139 students overall. The district includes 16 elementary schools, four middle schools, four traditional high schools or high-school programs, and one alternative school. Overall performance is mixed: the district ranks 148th of 238 Washington districts, while several individual schools perform well above district averages. Elementary schools generally show the strongest results, particularly in math and science, while middle- and high-school math results are the district’s most significant academic concern.

Among elementary schools, Lea Hill Elementary School stands out for both current achievement and improvement, reaching the 69th statewide percentile after rising from the 29th percentile three years earlier. Lakeland Hills Elementary has the district’s strongest elementary math result, while Willow Crest Elementary leads in science. Bowman Creek Elementary and Evergreen Heights Elementary also show balanced, above-average performance. Results vary widely, however, with Dick Scobee Elementary School and Pioneer Elementary School among the schools needing the most academic attention.

Mt Baker Middle School is the strongest middle school, leading its peers in English language arts, math, and science, although middle-school averages remain below district levels. At the high-school level, Auburn Riverside High School is the strongest traditional option, combining the highest ranking, a 92% graduation rate, the lowest dropout rate, and the strongest high-school ELA performance. Auburn Senior High School has weaker graduation, dropout, and math results, while West Auburn Senior High School serves a different alternative population and should not be compared directly with traditional high schools. Parents comparing options should look beyond rankings and consider subject-specific results, graduation outcomes, recent trends, and each school’s program type.
