Auburn Elementary School

Summary:

Auburn Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Auburn, Michigan, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 474 students. The school is part of the Bay City School District, which is ranked 360 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Auburn Elementary School consistently outperforms the Bay City School District and the state of Michigan in M-Step test scores across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 62.9% of 4th-grade students at Auburn Elementary were proficient or better in M-Step/English Language Arts, compared to 38.9% in the Bay City School District and 43.3% statewide. The school also ranks 35 out of 195 Michigan elementary schools for its special education students, indicating strong performance in this area. However, Auburn Elementary School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.7% in 2017-2018 to 13.5% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

While Auburn Elementary School outperforms the Bay City School District, it lags behind some of the nearby schools in the Midland Public Schools district, such as Plymouth Elementary, Adams Elementary, and Chestnut Hill Elementary, which have higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Auburn Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students (45.78%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's academic performance, as research has shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
