Summary:
Three schools in Abingdon-Avon CUSD 276 serve preschool through grade 12: Hedding Grade School (PK–4), Abingdon-Avon Middle School (5–8), and Abingdon-Avon High School (9–12). Results differ by grade and subject rather than showing one uniformly strong or weak pattern. The clearest academic strength is middle-school ELA: results topped state figures in every tested grade, by 7 to 21 percentage points.
Abingdon-Avon Middle School stands out in ELA, with 70% proficient across grades in 2025–26, 13 points above the state; its grade 6 result was 79%, 21 points above the grade-specific state result. Hedding Grade School leads the reported all-grades math results: 57%, compared with 43% at the middle school and 40% statewide. The clearest relative weakness is high-school ACT math: Abingdon-Avon High School had 21% proficient, 19 points below the state. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings also place the middle school highest, at the 65th percentile, followed by Hedding at the 55th and the high school at the 30th.
Recent math results improved at both schools with IAR data: Hedding rose 12 points and the middle school 10 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Middle-school ELA also rose 7 points, while Hedding’s ELA was nearly unchanged; high-school trends varied, with ACT science improving and ACT math declining. SchoolDigger rankings reflect different paths: Hedding fell 21 percentile points over three years, the middle school ended where it began, and the high school gained 7 points overall. For context, 2024–25 student-teacher ratios were 11.0 at Hedding, 14.7 at the middle school, and 11.3 at the high school. Free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25 were 62% at Hedding and about 51% at each secondary school. These measures describe context, not reasons for the academic results; the schools serve different grades, so all-grades comparisons are not grade-for-grade comparisons.
