Summary

Avondale Elementary School is a K–4 school in Canton, Ohio, serving 257 students as part of the Plain Local district, and it ranks 318th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 80th percentile with 4 stars. That is a strong statewide position, though below the school's recent peak: it ranked 101st of 1,596 in 2022–2023 (94th percentile, 5 stars) and 118th of 1,577 in 2023–2024 (93rd percentile, 5 stars), slipped to 410th of 1,558 in 2024–2025 (74th percentile, 4 stars), then rebounded this year. Plain Local itself ranks 212th of 773 Ohio districts.

Among nearby schools, Avondale sits well above the Canton City schools but trails two of its closest Plain Local peers, Frazer Elementary School (140th, 91st percentile) and Robert A. Taft Elementary School (163rd), as well as Lake Cable Elementary School (242nd) in Jackson Local. Its best result is 4th grade math at 90.2% proficient — above Frazer (85.4%) and Taft (86.5%) and just under Lake Cable (90.7%). Third grade math is the relative weak spot at 74%, below the district and well below Frazer (92.5%) and Taft (91.8%), though still above the state. ELA is solid in both grades, and chronic absenteeism is a real strength at 7.2%, less than half the district's 15.2% and far below Worley Elementary School (19.4%) and other Canton City schools.

About half of Avondale's students (51.36% in 2024–2025) qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school outperforms district and state averages in most tested subjects, and its low-income students rank in the 91st percentile with 5 stars. Its student-teacher ratio of 19.8 is lower than Frazer's but higher than Taft's and Lake Cable's. Keep in mind that Avondale serves only grades K–4, so it can't be compared on 5th or 6th grade metrics; spending data is from 2018–2019 and gifted-student data from 2017–2018.

This is a good school and most of the teachers have previous experience. They offer blended classes for some students that show advanced reading skills. Only one class has air conditioning and the building could use an update. They do a good job at introducing technology. Close Quote
