I created many amazing friendships at Auburn High School. I would ask for more involvement with the students to improve the district. I wish we had more college preparation classes. Plus, the majority of our students are caucasian. Auburn High School has made my student career fun and can continue to be for future generations.

Auburn High School has a great staff. I have had some really extraordinary teachers and built so many relationships. I see myself coming away with life-long friends as well. I do wish that a wider variety of classes was offered. I feel I was very limited in terms of college and career preparation.

Auburn High School was a school that grew into a community for other students. When you were having trouble with work or problems at home teachers always had your back. I liked the teachers at Auburn because they got know you personally.

People fail a lot due to lack of some teachers and education. Bullying and teasi...

Class of '23 student here.The good: The teachers and faculty. A ton of the staff here don't need to deal with what they're given. Seriously, they were great! A good fraction were absolutely involved, and even if the others weren't they were at least good at their job. The bad: Almost everything else...
