Summary:
The city of New Auburn, Wisconsin is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: New Auburn Elementary, New Auburn High, and New Auburn Middle. These schools operate under the New Auburn School District and serve a diverse student population with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Among the three schools, New Auburn High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 96th out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate. In contrast, New Auburn Elementary lags behind the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 3rd-5th grade scores ranging from 25% to 42.86% proficient, compared to state averages of 51-55%. New Auburn Middle School performs relatively well on standardized tests, with 6th-8th grade proficiency rates often exceeding the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.3.
Across all three schools, there is a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, significantly higher than the state's target of 13%. Additionally, the schools have relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 41.18% to 49.48%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The higher spending per student and smaller class sizes at the middle and high school levels may suggest an imbalance in resource allocation across the district, which could be an area for further exploration to ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students.
