Welcome to the Auburn-Washburn School District. We are a high-performing school district
located in the southwest section of Topeka which combines conveniently located shopping centers, theaters, and business offices with a rural character.
Due to growth and with the strong support of our parents and patrons, our eight schools and other buildings have undergone renovations
and are modern facilities featuring state-of-the-art technology, air-conditioned classrooms and gymnasiums, staffed with outstanding teachers
who provide superior educational opportunities for our students.
We have recently added classrooms to our elementary schools and successfully implemented full-day kindergarten district-wide. We
are the only district in Shawnee County to offer a developmentally appropriate full-day kindergarten program in all elementary buildings.
Our
basic commitment is Inspiring and Challenging Every Child,
Every Day. The Auburn-Washburn School Board has
made small class size a priority to enhance learning at the
youngest levels. Our class sizes in grades K-3 average 19
students. We have modern technology labs in every elementary
building and an Outdoor Environmental Lab for hands-on science
lessons that is utilized by all of our schools.
Washburn Rural Middle School is organized into grade level teams
and students are allowed to explore many elective offerings prior to entering high school. Our Middle School Program is a well-balanced mix
of rigorous coursework in a nurturing environment with extracurricular clubs and activities available as we strive to educate the whole child.
Washburn Rural High School has an outstanding reputation
in the state of Kansas. We have many students who have achieved academic and athletic excellence. We consistently lead the area school districts in National Merit Finalists and Commended
Students. Our students have also excelled in athletics as evidenced by the number of state championships we have won over the past several years. A diverse environment exists in our district due in part
to the number of students moving here each year from other states and nations. International and foreign exchange students at the high school total 23, representing 11 different countries.
The Auburn-Washburn School District is committed to continuous school improvement. If you want to be associated with very
progressive and academically challenging schools, we invite you to learn more about us by visiting any of our schools in person or online.
