Auburn Public Schools

Auburn Public Schools serves 3,242 students across eight schools in Androscoggin County, Maine. The district experienced a slight enrollment decline of 1.0% in the most recent year, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 across its six elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.

Academic performance shows mixed results relative to state benchmarks. Reading proficiency stands at 59.2% compared to the state average of 64.2%, while math proficiency of 42.9% falls below Maine's 50.0% average. However, the district's graduation rate of 92.1% exceeds the state average of 86.4%, indicating stronger secondary completion outcomes. Chronic absenteeism at 29.4% represents a notable challenge within the district.

Financially, Auburn Public Schools operates on a $60.5 million budget with per-pupil spending of $9,443, below Maine's state average of $12,106. Revenue composition reflects moderate reliance on local funding, with 50.5% from state sources, 30.3% from local contributions, and 19.1% from federal funding. This revenue structure, combined with below-average per-pupil spending, suggests limited local tax base relative to other Maine districts. The district employs 279 teachers across its eight-school system, maintaining relatively small class sizes while managing an enrollment base that continues to show slight decline.
