Afton Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, with 76% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 54% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly above the state averages. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 may contribute to its academic success.

The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, combined with the relatively low student-teacher ratios, may indicate resource and staffing challenges that could be impacting student outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve educational opportunities for all students in the Afton area.
