With an impressive student-to-teacher ratio of 15-to-1 despite the campus accepting several hundred students annually, this pre-kindergarten to fifth grade public institution located in central Avondale Estates provides educational access to its residents.
Besides the standardized Georgia curriculum, students can look forward to special programs including physical education, music, art, Spanish and technology. Further school activity is supported through the daily recess playground, STEM science lab and the outdoor garden classroom.
Although competitive sports teams are not offered at Avondale Elementary School (AES), the school hosts numerous organizations including garden club, cool girls, elite gentlemen, coding club and robotics club.
AES is a Cognia STEM-certified school and an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme establishment, making it an excellent place to give students a head start on their trajectory to higher education and success in their adult life. With teachers and faculty working to cultivate a love of learning into each pupil through a nurturing environment, Avondale Elementary seeks to send its alumni into the world with a lifelong thirst for knowledge.

No transportation, no lunch provided, substandard education, no special education programs and/or services. All three of my children were unenrolled due to a complaint made about their fire alarms, fire extinguishers, etc not working, and all teachers having open flames in every classroom. #PowerUp

My daughter is still in this school....it has been three years now.....she is in third grade. I am overwhelmed by the friendly and caring attitude of the teachers towards each student. The way they take care of each child and communicate with the patent is very appreciable.
