With 1,457 students, the school consistently outperforms the state average in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores across Math, Science, and English Language Arts, ranking 605 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's higher spending per student ($13,539 in 2021-2022) and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.9 in 2022-2023 may contribute to its academic success, outperforming nearby schools in the Octorara Area and Kennett Consolidated school districts.

Overall, Avon Grove Intrmd School is a strong-performing elementary school within the Avon Grove School District, with a focus on academic achievement and a commitment to supporting all students. However, the school should continue to monitor and address the performance gaps among its student subgroups to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This is an excellent school. I have had 3 children attend, all having different strengths and weeknesses. The school was able to accomodate all needs and help each child to excel not just in studies, but socially as well. The reading and math programs are excellent. One of my children was barely reading at grade level when first attending and finished up reading well above grade level. He is now in high school taking honors courses. Close Quote

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.
