Avon Elementary School

Summary:

Avon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 296 students in grades K-5 in Avon, Colorado, which is part of the Eagle County School District No. Re 50. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 89.86% Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its small student-teacher ratio, Avon Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom third of Colorado elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.59% to 79.39% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. In comparison, nearby schools like Brush Creek Elementary, Red Sandstone Elementary, and Eagle County Charter Academy have higher CMAS proficiency rates, higher SchoolDigger rankings, and lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients.

Avon Elementary's persistently low performance and ranking over the past decade suggest that the school is facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address. Additionally, the decreasing racial diversity at the school, with the percentage of White students decreasing from 8.88% in 2020-2021 to 6.76% in 2022-2023, while the Hispanic student population has increased, is an area that warrants further exploration to understand the underlying causes and implications.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
