Avilla Elementary School

Summary:

Avilla Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 469 students in grades PK-5 in Avilla, Indiana, which is part of the East Noble School Corporation. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, but also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools.

Academically, Avilla Elementary School shines, with 40.32% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and 41.94% proficient in ILEARN/Math, compared to the district averages of 31.28% and 34.64%, respectively. This strong performance has earned the school a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 50% of Indiana elementary schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2% is higher than nearby Wayne Center Elementary (5.0%) and North Side Elementary (10.0%), which is an area of concern.

Avilla Elementary School also serves a more socioeconomically diverse student population, with 31.7% to 39.87% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the district average and nearby schools like Cedar Canyon Elementary (11.11%) and Churubusco Elementary (30.93%). The school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $8,723 to $9,110, may indicate a focus on supporting its diverse student population and maintaining its strong academic performance.

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.
