GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have very much enjoyed my time at Avon High School, the teachers are friendly and many of them are genuinely invested in helping their students learn. As a member of the Track and Cross Country programs, I can confidently that the coaches cared about curating workouts and strategies to help us improve. The one thing I would like to see changed is instead of teaching how to manage stress in junior year I think that lesson should be moved to freshman year.

Avon High School has been a good experience for me. I am a student athlete so I did a lot of my college searching through my sport and the club that I played for. I Did not use the college services as much. The teachers are great the administration is OK, It definitely needs more school spirit, and unity. But I do value my education there.

The school is a very warm, welcoming place. There haven't been any bullying incidents that I've ever heard of and I didn't experience it while I was there. The staff try their hardest to help the students succeed and be successful as they move onto college as well.

This, of course, is the lowest of bars, as AMS is a disaster, wrapped in a fiasco, inside a dumpster fire.AHS teachers range from OK to moderately above average, but barely seem interested in the stud...

We have had a great experience in the elementary schools. Not so great in secondary schools. We are sending our kids to a private high school.
