Auburn’s public schools outscore 71% of Nebraska districts

In Auburn, 60% of tested students read at a proficient level, above the Nebraska average (47%). The grade covers the public school district serving Auburn, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Nebraska, not nationally.
