Summary

Avon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Barrington School District in Haddonfield, New Jersey. The school has 297 students and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Avon Elementary faces several challenges, including lower-than-average test scores, with only 34.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 44.9% statewide, and relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 11% to 16.6%. The school's performance also lags behind many of its nearby counterparts, such as Mansion Avenue School and J. Fithian Tatem School, which have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, Avon Elementary's low student-teacher ratio of 8.1 and relatively low spending per student of $4,908 suggest that there may be opportunities to improve outcomes through targeted interventions and resource allocation.

Interestingly, Avon Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking higher for female students (529 out of 1,326 NJ elementary schools) compared to male students (815 out of 1,318), and higher for low socioeconomic status students (467 out of 1,023) compared to special education students (544 out of 949). Addressing the needs of these specific student subgroups could be an area of focus for the school as it works to improve overall outcomes.
