Elementary Schools in Avon

Avon has one elementary school in this data set: Ralph D Butler, a PK–5 school with 323 students in the Avon district, located at 1 Patrick Clark Drive, Avon, MA 02322. The record includes three years of rank history, MCAS Next Generation proficiency for 2025–2026 and 2024–2025, a student-teacher ratio of 10.2 for 2024–2025, and per-student spending of $18,009 for 2020–2021. Free/reduced lunch data is blank, so it is unknown and should not be treated as 0% or as a weakness.

Because it is the only elementary school in Avon, Ralph D Butler is the standout by default, but it still compares better with its district than with the state. It is rated 2 stars and ranks 624 out of 899, in the 31st percentile in 2025–2026; it has held 2 stars across all three years, with percentile rank 37 in 2023–2024 and 31 in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. The Avon district is rated 1 star and ranks in the 14th percentile, and the school outperforms the district in every reported 2025–2026 test comparison. Science is a relative strength: all-grades science proficiency is 41.18%, which is 11.01 points above the district’s 30.17% and 0.20 points above the state all-grades average of 40.98%. Grade 5 ELA is also above the state, at 41.18% versus 38.15%.

Mathematics is the clearest concern. All-grades math proficiency is 18.83%, which is 0.84 points above the Avon district’s 17.99% but 22.28 points below the state average of 41.11%. Grade 3 math is especially low at 9.43%, compared with 42.19% statewide, a 32.76-point gap. Year over year, math dropped 10.70 points, while science rose 9.27 points and ELA improved 1.05 points. Older grades perform better in both ELA and math: ELA is 30.19% in grade 3, 34% in grade 4, and 41.18% in grade 5; math is 9.43% in grade 3, 20% in grade 4, and 27.45% in grade 5. Overall, Ralph D Butler is the stronger part of a low-ranked district, with science and grade 5 ELA as bright spots, but math, especially in grade 3, is the highest-leverage area for improvement.
