Summary

Avon Middle High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in Avon, Massachusetts, with 408 students. The school is part of the Avon school district, which is ranked 284 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Avon Middle High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, ranging from 159 to 292 out of Massachusetts high schools, it currently ranks 275 out of 349 schools, indicating a concerning trend of declining performance relative to other high schools in the state. The school's four-year graduation rates have been variable, ranging from 79.6% to 95.5%, which is lower than the 94.2% rate at nearby Abington High and the 93.1% rate at Stoughton High. Additionally, Avon Middle High School has had higher dropout rates, ranging from 2.3% to 7.4%, compared to 4.5% at Abington High and 5.6% at Stoughton High.

Academically, Avon Middle High School consistently underperforms the state averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32.08% of 10th graders at Avon were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 50.66%. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, and special education students, are generally in the bottom half or bottom third of Massachusetts high schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. Despite spending more per student ($18,856) than nearby high-performing schools like Abington High ($14,887) and Stoughton High ($17,518), Avon Middle High School's academic outcomes remain relatively low, raising questions about the efficient and effective allocation of resources to drive student achievement.
