Summary
Avon Middle High School is a small public school in Avon, MA, serving grades 6–12 with 409 students as part of the Avon district in the suburbs south of Boston. It ranks 276 of 353 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 (22nd percentile, 1 star), placing it in the bottom quartile statewide, while the Avon district ranks 301 of 351. That is well below the school's 2022–2023 peak of 159 of 347 (54th percentile, 3 stars), although it is roughly level with the two most recent years, when it ranked 282 of 348 and 275 of 349.
Its clearest strength is 10th-grade English language arts, where 50% of students met proficiency — above the state's 45.48% and ahead of Stoughton High, Blue Hills Regional Vocational Technical, Randolph High, and Brockton High, though below Abington High. Graduation also improved to 93.1% in 2024–2025 with a 5.2% dropout rate, better than Brockton High (84.3% and 7.5%), but dropout remains higher than at Abington High, Holbrook Middle High School, and Blue Hills Regional Vocational Technical. Graduation has been volatile, ranging from 79.6% to 95.5% since 2020–2021.
Math and science are the biggest concerns. All-grade math proficiency is 18.07% versus the state's 41.11%, 10th-grade math is 16.22% versus 43.73%, and 10th-grade science is 9.09% versus 40.5%. Middle grades lag too: 6th-grade math 10% versus 42.59%, 8th-grade ELA 19.67% versus 41.7%, and 8th-grade civics 21.31% versus 39.77%. Because Avon serves grades 6–12, that middle-school performance counts toward its accountability results. Holbrook Middle High School, the closest structural peer, serves the same grades, spends less ($14,557 per student versus Avon's $18,856), and has larger classes (14.3 students per teacher versus 9.4), yet outperforms Avon in all-grade ELA, math, and science and in every middle-grade measure.
