Elementary Schools in Excalibur Charter Schools Inc.

The Excalibur Charter Schools Inc. district in Arizona operates a single elementary school, Avalon Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low performance and ranking compared to state and district averages.

Avalon Elementary's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across various grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 5th grades were significantly lower than the state averages. The school's science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th grades were also below the state averages in 2022-2023. Avalon Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.

The school's student population is predominantly low-income, with 70.61% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student body. The limited financial and resource data provided in the information makes it difficult to draw conclusions about the adequacy of funding and the allocation of resources, which could be an area for further investigation to understand the school's challenges and potential areas for improvement.
