Summary

Avon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 258 students in grades K-5 in Avon, Colorado. The school is part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50, which is ranked 53 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Avon Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom third of Colorado elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Avon Elementary School faces several key challenges that contribute to its low performance. The school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 31.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Brush Creek Elementary (27.7%) and Eagle Valley Elementary (27.7%). Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 32.1% for the district and 39% for the state.

Avon Elementary School also has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.59% to 82.95% in recent years, much higher than the rates at nearby schools like Brush Creek Elementary (14.04%) and Eagle County Charter Academy (8.89%). Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.8 to 11.2 in recent years, suggesting the potential for more individualized attention and support for students. Addressing the school's consistently poor performance and the underlying demographic and socioeconomic challenges should be a priority for the district and the local community.
