District-Level NCES Analysis
Auburn Public Schools operates 4 public schools serving 1,051 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Nebraska. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Nemaha County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,453 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 25 of 244 Nebraska districts by per-pupil spending.

The funding mix is 52.4% local, 34.9% state, and 12.8% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 32/100, ranked #161 of 200 in Nebraska against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 326.3:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 23.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Auburn Public Schools a distant remainder — means Auburn Public Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Auburn Public Schools is typically wider than the Auburn Public Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
Auburn Public Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 23.1% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Auburn Public Schools is typically wider than the Auburn Public Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
