Summary
Avilla Elementary School in Avilla, IN, is a PK–5 school in the East Noble School Corporation serving 422 students. Its most recent rank is 527th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 48th percentile with 2 stars—down from 455th of 1,005 (55th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025. The school is above its district averages in English language arts (36.26%), math (46.15%), and science (47.37%), and it is the second-strongest in the district in ELA and math and the strongest in science.
Attendance is a clear bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 6.9% in 2024–2025, below the district’s 9.4% and the state’s 16.7%, and much improved from 11.9% in 2023–2024. The free/reduced lunch rate is 29.62%, the lowest among the district’s elementaries and relatively low for the area. Per-student spending was $10,556 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 14.8 from 18.7 in 2022–2023.
Grade-level results show strengths in 4th grade math (56.14%, above the state’s 52%) and 4th grade science (47.37%, above the state’s 43.8%), with 4th grade ELA essentially at the state level. The main concern is ELA: all-grade ELA fell from 45.45% to 36.26%, and 3rd grade ELA (34.69%) and 5th grade ELA (32.89%) are below state benchmarks; 5th grade social studies (38.16%) is also below district and state levels. Compared with nearby schools, it outperforms same-district North Side and South Side, but trails Cedar Canyon, Churubusco, James R Watson, Huntertown, and McKenney-Harrison on several measures—some of which have higher poverty and lower spending. Overall, it is mid-performing within a below-average district, with strong attendance, science, and 4th grade math; ELA and 5th grade are the priorities.
