Summary

Avilla Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 12.5% to 18.7%, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Jasper County Elementary (9.2%) and Wildwood Elementary (10.7%). The school's test scores are also significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages, with only 20.1% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 44.4%, and only 17.7% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.6%. Additionally, Avilla Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.35% to 60.48%, higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools.

Avilla Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school spends slightly more per student than the state average, it performs significantly worse than some of the nearby schools, such as Golden City Elementary and Pleasant Valley Elementary. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Avilla Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools and implement targeted interventions to address the underlying issues contributing to the school's struggles.
