Avalon School District

Avalon School District has one listed school, Avalon Elementary School, serving grades 5–8. The school’s 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate was higher than the state’s—22% versus 14%, an 8-point gap. Its clearest strength is English Language Arts: in 2025–2026, the equal-grade average was 80%, compared with 53% statewide, and Avalon was ahead in all four reported grades.

There is no second school in the district to identify as a higher- or lower-performing school; within Avalon, results vary most in math. In 2025–2026, grade 5 math proficiency was 33%, 12 points below the state’s 46%, while grades 6 and 7 reached 73% and 72%, ahead of state rates of 40% and 38%. The grade 5–7 average was 59%, versus 41% statewide, but that overall figure hides the grade 5 shortfall. Algebra I was another standout, at 90% proficiency—50 points above the state’s End of Course rate and 16 points above the state’s grade 8 rate. Because only one school is listed, school-to-school comparisons are not available.

Recent trends differ by subject: Avalon’s equal-grade ELA average slipped from 81% in 2024–2025 to 80% in 2025–2026, but its advantage over the state grew from 25 to 27 points; its grade 5–7 math average rose from 57% to 59%, widening its state advantage from 16 to 18 points. Science moved the other way: its average fell from 39% to 34%, and its advantage narrowed from 14 to 11 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 80th of 743 schools in 2023–2024 to 46th of 743 in 2025–2026, with its rating rising from 4 to 5 stars. Other context includes a 7.5 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 4% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2022–2023.
