Summary

Cedar Elementary School is a K–5 school in Avon, IN, serving 638 students as part of Avon Community School Corp, a highly ranked district (24th of 374 Indiana districts, 5 stars). Cedar stands out even within that context: in 2025–2026 it ranked 68th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 93rd percentile — with a 5-star rating. Its climb has been steady, from 316th in 2020–2021 (3 stars) to 68th today, while English Language Arts proficiency rose from 46.21% to 65.12% and Science from 37.76% to 58.82%.

Cedar is the highest-ranked school among its nearby comparison schools, ahead of Maple (75), Van Buren (111), River Birch (119), Brentwood (121), Central (134), Sycamore (160), Hickory (192), and Pine Tree (206). Fifth grade is its clearest strength: 71.3% in ELA, 75.65% in Math, and 78.26% in Social Studies — the highest among all nearby schools and far above district and state figures. All-grades Math (71.6%) and ELA (65.12%) also beat district averages, though Science (58.82%) trails Maple, Van Buren, Central, and Brentwood. The main academic soft spot is 4th grade Math at 64.71%, which is below the district's 68.28%.

Chronic absenteeism was 6.6% in 2024–2025 — better than the district (7.9%) and the state (16.7%), and lower than the Plainfield schools (Central 7.9%, Brentwood 9.8%, Van Buren 11.2%), but higher than every Avon same-district peer listed. Cedar spends $12,259 per student and has a 14:1 student–teacher ratio, the lowest among nearby schools. With 54.39% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch — higher than all listed Plainfield Community School Corp schools — Cedar still outranks them in state rank and Math outcomes, suggesting strong instruction and support.
