Avon School

Summary:

Avon School is a small elementary school in Avon, Montana, serving grades PK-8 with just 28 students. Despite its small size, Avon School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outpacing the state average in both mathematics and reading proficiency on Montana state tests.

Avon School's key strengths include its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7:1 to 12.5:1 over the past three years, and its significantly higher per-student spending ($13,807 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools like O.D. Speer School ($10,927 in 2018-2019). These factors likely contribute to the school's academic excellence, with 60% of Avon School students proficient or better in mathematics and 80% proficient or better in reading, far surpassing the state averages of 36.59% and 46.03%, respectively.

While Avon School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, this variability may not fully capture the school's quality and effectiveness. Additionally, Avon School's student population is 100% White, which is significantly different from the more racially diverse student body at nearby schools like O.D. Speer School. As parents consider educational options for their children, Avon School's exceptional academic performance, small class sizes, and unique demographics make it a standout choice in the region, particularly when compared to other local schools like Garrison School and Elliston School.

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.
