Summary

Avon High School is a 9–12 public high school in Avon, CT, serving 946 students in the highly rated Avon School District. The school consistently ranks among Connecticut's best, placing in the top 10 percent of high schools statewide in recent years. Students perform exceptionally well on state assessments: ELA proficiency is 82.4% versus a 55.3% state average, and math proficiency is 58.6% versus 31.3%. These scores are competitive with nearby top performers like Simsbury High School and Hall High School. Science proficiency (71.2%) is also well above the state average of 50.5%, though it trails Simsbury High School (88.5%) and Canton High School (85.3%).

The school's graduation rate is strong at 96.6%, above the state average of 91.2%. However, chronic absenteeism is a notable concern: 16.5% of students are chronically absent, essentially tied with the state average and higher than nearby schools such as Hall High School (8.8%), Simsbury High School (9.7%), and Farmington High School (10.5%). This stands out given that just 14.5% of Avon students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the lowest rate among nearby schools. The school's absenteeism rate is also higher than the Avon School District's own 10.1% average.

Avon invests generously in its students, spending $19,651 per pupil and maintaining a favorable 11.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Recent subgroup data shows especially strong results for Asian students, who ranked 2nd in the state, and special education students, who ranked 5th in the state. Avon's overall academic excellence is clear, but parents may want to ask about school culture around attendance and how the school plans to address chronic absenteeism, as well as its science curriculum relative to peer districts. These are the two areas where Avon has the most room to grow relative to the very best schools in the region.
