What stands out about Auburn Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved -2.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Nebraska's statewide +9.1% by 11.7 points, a growth rate faster than 11% of the 221 Nebraska districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 12.2% here, from 937 students in FY2019 to 1,051 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
