Summary:
The Avon, Massachusetts district has two public schools, serving grades PK–5 and 6–12 with 732 students in the listed schools. The district is ranked 301 of 351, at the 14th percentile with 1 star. Ralph D Butler is the PK–5 elementary school with 323 students, and Avon Middle High School is the 6–12 combined middle/high school with 409 students. No separate middle or alternative school is listed. Ralph D Butler ranks higher in percentile terms (31st percentile, 2 stars) than Avon Middle High School (22nd percentile, 1 star), but both are below the state median. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not available in this data.
Academically, math is the clearest district-wide concern: both schools are near 18% proficient in all-grade math, compared with 41.11% statewide. Ralph D Butler’s standout is science: 41.18% proficient in all grades, above both the district’s 30.17% and the state’s 40.98%. Its 5th-grade ELA score of 41.18% also exceeds the state’s 38.15%, though its 3rd-grade math is only 9.43%. At Avon Middle High School, 10th-grade ELA is a bright spot at 50% proficient, above the state’s 45.48%, and the graduation rate is 93.1%, above the district’s 90.0%. However, 10th-grade science is 9.09% versus 40.5% statewide, Biology is 8.57% versus 37.68%, and all-grade math is 18.07% versus 41.11%.
Year-over-year changes are mixed. Ralph D Butler’s science rose from 31.91% to 41.18% and ELA improved slightly, but math fell from 29.53% to 18.83%. Avon Middle High School’s math dropped from 27.84% to 18.07%, ELA declined, and science stayed flat at 22.95%. Avon Middle High School also spends more per student in 2020–2021 ($18,856) than Ralph D Butler ($18,009), yet Ralph D Butler shows stronger all-grade ELA and science results in this snapshot, so spending alone does not neatly predict outcomes here. Overall, Ralph D Butler’s science performance is the strongest relative result in this district, while math proficiency at roughly 18% across both schools remains the most persistent concern.
