Avondale Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (63.89%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Villa Bella Expeditionary School, South Mesa Elementary, and North Mesa Elementary. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.86% to 84.66% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
