While the schools in Avoca generally perform above the state average, there are some areas that warrant further attention. The relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 32.57% to 40.84%, suggest the community may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact the schools' resources and support for students. Additionally, the student population across all three schools is predominantly White, which may indicate a need to explore ways to foster a more inclusive and diverse learning environment.
