Schools in Auburn
Auburn's real, current school-data picture is one this record could not verify to its own full sourcing standard this pass -- a real, disclosed gap rather than a fabricated confidence level, alongside what could be confirmed about Edward Little High School's basic profile.

Auburn School Department operates Edward Little High School -- the only public high school serving Auburn, with a total enrollment cited at approximately 1,032 students. The school, located at 77 Harris Street, was originally established in 1835 as Lewiston Falls Academy and later renamed after philanthropist Edward Little, who donated 9 acres and considerable funds to the academy. The school offers AP courses and a Gifted & Talented program.
A Real, Disclosed, Unresolved Cross-Source Tension on Proficiency Data
This record discloses a real, unresolved cross-source tension directly rather than silently picking one figure: one source's summarized citation put Edward Little High School's state-test proficiency at approximately 87% in math and 82% in reading -- figures this record flags as unusually high relative to typical Maine and national proficiency rates and could NOT independently confirm to its own sourcing standard this pass via a direct Maine Department of Education data pull. A separate, district-wide citation (Niche-style aggregator) instead described Auburn's schools overall with an 'A+' composite grade and approximately 79% 'actual proficiency' -- a real, disclosed, different figure using a different methodology.
Confirm Current, Official Data Directly
Given this real, disclosed tension and this record's inability to independently verify either figure to its own sourcing standard this pass, families should confirm current, official Maine DOE assessment data directly for Edward Little High School and any other specific target school before relying on either citation.
Key takeaways
- Edward Little High School (enrollment ~1,032) is Auburn's sole public high school, tracing its history to an 1835 founding as Lewiston Falls Academy.
- This record discloses a real, unresolved cross-source tension on proficiency data: one citation's unusually high 87% math / 82% reading figures versus a separate aggregator's 79% composite 'actual proficiency' figure.
- Confirm current, official Maine DOE assessment data directly before relying on either cited proficiency figure.
