Among 124 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Nebraska schools statewide, it ranks #90, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

10.0% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
The surrounding Auburn Public Schools spends $12,453 per pupil, 30% below the Nebraska average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
