The Aurora community takes great pride in the education provided by its local schools. Aurora Elementary, Aurora Middle School and Aurora High School combine to create the school system. All three sites are accredited by the State Board of Education through the Nebraska Department of Education. In addition, Aurora High School is accredited by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and is a part of ESU9.
The schools have a combined enrollment of approximately 1200 students in Preschool-grade 12 (2011-12 school year). Aurora Public Schools believes that all students can learn; our schools provide an emotionally, intellectually, and physically safe environment for teaching and learning; education is a lifelong process through a partnership with students, family, school, and community; our schools prepare students to be responsible citizens in their community.
