Avalon School consistently performs well on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates compared to the state average in both math and reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 71.43% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 51.26%. The school also excels in serving its special education students, ranking 4th out of 178 Minnesota high schools in 2024-2025 for special education student performance. However, Avalon School shows a significant disparity in performance between male and female students, with male students ranking 18th out of 377 Minnesota high schools and female students ranking 211th out of 358 in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Avalon School performs significantly better than the Sejong Academy Upper School and Venture Academy High School, both of which are lower-performing charter schools in the area. Avalon School also has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 17.71% to 32.77% in recent years, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population. Additionally, the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 12.3 in recent years, which may contribute to its academic success. However, Avalon School's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 17th to 169th among Minnesota high schools, indicating the school may face some challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence.
