The best part about my school is the overall connection and relationships the students have grown with the teachers and administrators. Some areas I would like to see change in my school is the environment. The overall administration needs to take charge of many things, such as disciplinary action, and respect.

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.

Overall good experience, the main disappointment was food. Lunch was never that good. Most of the teachers were good and cared to be involved. Academics I feel were well split, if you were an excellent student there were harder, more advanced classes but also easier classes for the kids who weren't quite ready for the more advanced classes.

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...
