Summary

River Birch Elementary School is a K–5 school in Avon, Indiana, serving 694 students as part of Avon Community School Corp, a 5-star district ranked 24th of 374 in Indiana. River Birch ranks 119th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 88th percentile with 4 stars. That is strong but slightly below its district’s overall 94th percentile, so it is an upper-middle performer within a very high-performing district rather than the district’s absolute top.

Math is the school’s standout: all-grade math proficiency is 72.83%, the highest among nearby Avon schools and above the district’s 62.62%. Third-grade math is 81%, also the top nearby score. ELA is solid overall at 63.4%, above the district’s 58.46%, though 4th-grade ELA is a weak spot at 51.14%—below district and the lowest among nearby schools. Fifth-grade social studies is a bright spot at 68.83%, above district and state and second only to Cedar Elementary School locally. Science is the most consistent gap: all-grade science is 50%, below the district’s 52.77% and most nearby Avon peers.

Chronic absenteeism is 6.0%, well below the district’s 7.9% and the state’s 16.7%, but several Avon peers are lower, including Hickory Elementary School at 3.2%. Free/reduced lunch is 45.53%, the lowest among nearby Avon schools but higher than nearby Brownsburg Community School Corp schools like Cardinal Elementary School, Delaware Trail Elementary School, and White Lick Elementary School. The school spends $11,600 per student—less than nearby Avon schools—and has a 16.5 student-teacher ratio, the highest among nearby Avon peers. Against Brownsburg, its math is competitive, but ELA and science lag. Bottom line: River Birch is strong, especially in math, with clear opportunities in 4th-grade ELA, science, and narrowing the absenteeism gap with top Avon peers.
