Avilla Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 12.5% to 18.7%, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Jasper County Elementary (9.2%) and Wildwood Elementary (10.7%). The school's test scores are also significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages, with only 20.1% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 44.4%, and only 17.7% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.6%.

Avilla Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school spends slightly more per student than the state average, it performs significantly worse than some of the nearby schools, such as Golden City Elementary and Pleasant Valley Elementary. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Avilla Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools and implement targeted interventions to address the underlying issues contributing to the school's struggles.

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.

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.
