Great school and a good community. I wish that the outdoor courts and track were open to the public.

Homework in this school is decent some of my teachers don't give to much which helps me more on my outside lifeThe teachers are mostly nice they like to help alot of students in way possible The leadership is strong within the student body, through and club at the school you find some sort of leadership thing to doBullying, the school has a effective bullying strategy because I have heard any cases recently of bullying Learning differences for people that are not good at English they can take English lab or if they're bad an Algebra, they can take an Algebra lab.

I honestly had so much fun in high school. The teachers were nice and always ready to help and the students, at least the ones I interacted with during my time here, were respectful to some extent and timely.

The schools I've been to were terrible. Sometimes nobody did anything about bullying. I'll admit some schools are good but the high school is terrible.

Being in the Avon system for the full k-12 experience I'd say it was fine until 4th grade onwards.The last year of elementary started with classes being taught in portable rooms because of the number of students exceeded the number of available classrooms. This was temporarily resolved by building more elementary schools but with class sizes now nearing 1,000 per grade in HS the town is growing faster than the schools can keep up. There are not enough buildings, teachers, textbooks, spots on sports teams or money for the school to continue providing regular one on one attention to their students,A great music and sports program and if your child is in an accelerated learners program they will thrive. If you have a normal student, not involved with extracurriculars then look for a smaller school, like Coatesville or Danville for more one on one attention on a daily basis and more opportunities to join a sport for fun rather than fighting 500 kids for a few spots. If you don't start a sport in middle school or at the latest freshman year, you are usually out of luck.Avon is very competition driven. A bad example of this being their Girls basketball program about to fall through because over the past few years they haven't been able to keep a coach and many HS girls leaving the sport due to favoritism between parents and coaches. A good example of this being the very talented and dedicated marching band. Huge class sizes, not enough teachers. Lots of referendums being thrown around with the threat of firing teachers...asking for higher taxes for the schools yet we still have to pay for mandatory laptops, texts books that are never used (and not even enough for all the children in a class to take home) and huge college level looking sport and band facilities. With nearly 1,000 kids per class its more of a college campus than a HS. They start pushing the college is the only option agenda as early as 5th grade by asking what you want to be and recommending colleges to start looking at. If you don't know what you want to do you are ostracized. This is not a school where you are encouraged to work towards a trade, its 4 year college or nothing.The only difference with Avon and schools like Carmel is the class sizes, the price of housing, and the huge amount of bullying.

There are so many opportunities at AHS. It is a very big school with so many ways to get involved. Top notch academics.

As someone who's attended a multitude of schools in two different states and four different cities, I must say Avon is the worst I've been to. It's not the academics that I have a problem with, it's everything else. Secondly, some of the teachers and administration are rude! They don't care about the students, just their pay check. The only teachers I know that get to know their students are the ones that get to see their students after school or multiple times a day. It's like if you only see them once a day, they're just another kid. I just don't like that. I have a family member who was bullied at Avon and the administration did nothing about it! In another situation someone wasn't bullied but the administration accused them of it! When I say I know them, I mean I'm The parents are another serious problem. They think that their kid is the best out there. I watched a fellow student be threatened by an adult on school property the other day... With the administration there. It was absolutely ridiculous. Some parents are crazy and horribly crude to many other students too. Personally I just don't like Avon very well.

Avon High School is a fabulous school. The teachers connect with the kids and actually CARE about them. They push the students to excel in all areas - not just the academics. And I disagree with a previous comment about administration. The AHS administration deserve only praise for providing a safe, secure, and top-notch environment for our Avon kids. The freshman teaming concept provided a wonderful environment for both of our children. It made a large high school feel small and inviting. The Advanced Learning Center provided a place where our children could earn college credit and be pushed to excel. Parents are involved and go above and beyond to support programs. Overall, I have nothing but praise for this school. I may not have always agreed with some of the teachers, but that's okay. My kids are getting a great education and I'm proud to say that our kids go to Avon High School.

Teachers are high quality but underpaid and most of the dollars go to the high level administrators and super.. No four star in 8 years, due to poor school leadership. School board poor quality and disrespect teachers by riffing them during the school day. Parents care and voluteer a lot. Need better principals a different board and better paid educators instead of overpaid administraters.

Avon High School is the best school I have ever attended. There is a wide variety of classes and the band program is remarkable. Most of the teachers love their jobs and are willing to work with you. I do think the school should treat its staff better after an "incident" this past year. It has a great facility for the senior class, the Advanced Learning Center. Seniors are requried to have laptops and are given e-mails to make it easy to communicate with teachers outside of school. Also, many teachers are willingly to help students apply to colleges. A class that is highly reccommended is Personal & Family Finances.
