Summary

Pine Grove School is a K–4 elementary school in Avon, CT, serving 613 students — the largest of the nearby schools in this comparison — as part of the highly rated Avon School District, which ranks 19th of 153 districts in Connecticut. The school itself is currently ranked 103rd of 491 elementary schools statewide (79th percentile, 4 stars), a strong rebound from 173rd place in 2024-25 and its best showing since 2020-21. With just 14.0% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch and an exceptionally low 4.4% chronic absenteeism rate — versus 10.1% for the district and 16.4% statewide — Pine Grove rests on a very solid foundation.

Academically, Pine Grove is well above Connecticut averages in both English language arts (ELA) and math. Its 4th grade ELA proficiency of 79.7% exceeds the district average (78.6%) and outpaces same-district Roaring Brook School (77.6%), as well as East Farms School, Braeburn School, Noah Wallace School, and Lake Garda Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism has fallen steadily from 12.9% in 2022-23 to just 4.4% today — the lowest among all neighboring schools in this comparison and better than Roaring Brook's 6.3%. The school also posts a student-teacher ratio of 13.4, with per-student spending below several nearby peers.

The clearest area for attention is mathematics. While Pine Grove's math proficiency is above the state average, it lags most nearby high-achieving schools. For instance, only 68.8% of Pine Grove 4th graders met math benchmarks in 2025-26, compared with 90.5% at West District School and 82.1% at Latimer Lane School. Its 3rd grade math (66.7%) also trails Roaring Brook (79.6%). Encouragingly, 4th grade math has climbed steadily from 50.8% in 2022-23, and 4th grade outcomes overall drove the school's recent ranking jump. For parents, Pine Grove offers an efficient, well-attended school with strong and rising literacy outcomes, though math is the subject to watch as the school builds on its momentum.
