Summary:
ZIP code 02322 covers Avon, Massachusetts, and contains two public schools serving roughly 732 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: Ralph D Butler (PK–5, 323 students) and Avon Middle High School (6–12, 409 students), both in the Avon district, which is ranked 301 of 351 districts statewide — the 14th percentile — with 1 star.
Between the two, Ralph D Butler stands out. It earned 2 stars and ranks 624 of 899 elementary peers (31st percentile), compared with Avon Middle High's 1 star and 276 of 353 (22nd percentile). Butler's all-grade science was 41.18%, above the district's 30.17% and the state's 40.98%, and its 5th grade ELA was 41.18%, above the state's 38.15%. But its all-grade math was just 18.83%, far below the state's 41.11%. Avon Middle High's bright spots are 10th grade ELA at 50%, above the state's 45.48%, and a 93.1% graduation rate, above the district's 90.0%, with a 5.2% dropout rate versus the district's 5.0%. Its student-teacher ratio, 9.4, is slightly lower than Butler's 10.2.
The clearest shared concern is math. Both schools posted all-grade math proficiency near 18–19% against the state's 41.11%, and early grades are weaker still — Butler's 3rd grade math was 9.43% versus the state's 42.19%, and Avon Middle High's 6th grade math was 10% versus 42.59%. Science splits sharply: Butler's elementary science is at state level, while Avon Middle High's 10th grade science was 9.09% and Biology 8.57%. ELA is uneven, with Avon Middle High's 8th grade at 19.67% against the state's 41.70%. Per-student spending was $18,856 and $18,009 in 2020–21, yet most scores trail state averages.
