Summary

Avalon Elementary School is a public elementary school in Naples, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 341 students. The school is part of the Collier County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Avalon Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $12,095 to $17,813 over the past few years, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school has consistently lower test scores than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 10-20 percentage points below the Collier County and Florida averages. Additionally, Avalon Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.09% to 92.08% over the past few years, significantly higher than nearby schools like Mike Davis Elementary, Lavern Gaynor Elementary, and Lely Elementary.

Another area of concern is Avalon Elementary's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.4% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. This, combined with the school's low test scores and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggests that Avalon Elementary may be struggling to implement effective strategies to improve student outcomes. While the school's performance has remained relatively stagnant over the past several years, the nearby schools in the Collier County district have shown better academic performance, indicating that Avalon Elementary may need targeted interventions and support to address these challenges.

I used to go to Avalon. I went there for Pre K all the way through 1st. The school is amazing and I miss being a little kid because of this school.
