Summary

Avon Elementary - 02 serves 74 students in kindergarten through grade 4 in Avon, South Dakota. In 2025–2026, 76% of its students were proficient in math, 33 percentage points above the state and 22 points above the Avon School District 04-1. The clearest takeaway is that math—especially in fourth grade—is the school’s strongest academic advantage.

ELA is also above state and district results overall: 62% at Avon, compared with 49% statewide and 53% districtwide. The grade-level picture is less even, however. In third-grade ELA, Avon’s 45% was just above the state’s 43%, while Tyndall Elementary - 04 reached 59%; in fourth grade, Avon’s 70% was higher than Tyndall’s 62%, Scotland Elementary - 02’s 56% and Wagner Elementary - 02’s 38%. Math is stronger against nearby schools: Avon’s 76% all-grades result exceeded Dawson Colony School - 20 at 72% and Tyndall at 68%; in fourth grade, Avon scored 83%, versus 69% at Tyndall, 63% at Scotland and 35% at Wagner.

Results have moved around from year to year, particularly in ELA. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose 7 points, and Avon’s lead over the state widened by 5 points; ELA was essentially unchanged at the endpoints, despite falling to 30% and later reaching 71%. SchoolDigger ranked Avon 23rd of 203 statewide in 2025–2026, at the 89th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile had been 30 in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger’s group-specific measure of how well schools serve each group placed female students at the 54th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with 84th overall; its male-student ranking reached the 96th percentile, up from the 4th percentile in 2018–2019. Avon’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.5, and 31% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—useful context, not an explanation for results. With 74 students, results can shift noticeably from year to year.
