Summary:
The Avilla R-Xiii school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Avilla Elementary. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and faces significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.
Avilla Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Missouri elementary schools, with a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on MAP assessments, is well below the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.1% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 44.4%. Similarly, the school's 3rd-grade and 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rates were 17.7% and 26.7%, respectively, compared to state averages of 41.6% and 37.6%.
Additionally, Avilla Elementary faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 14.4% of students missing an excessive number of school days. This, combined with the school's high free and reduced lunch rate of 60.48%, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges that may be contributing to the academic performance issues. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $9,951, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved educational outcomes for its students. Addressing these challenges should be a priority for the Avilla R-Xiii school district to ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
