For the twelfth straight year, the Avon School District has earned an “excellent” rating from the state, after the Ohio Department of Education released final scores.

“Obviously, we’re very proud,” Avon Superintendent of Schools Mike Laub said. “It has everything in the world to do with our incredibly supportive community and great staff. Our kids, our parents and staff make the difference.

“Our staff, I’m so impressed with our staff. We’ve been excellent 12 years in a row. All that put together is a recipe of good results.”

The district missed the “with Distinction” honor having met, but not exceeded the “value added” component. The district did meet the Adequate Yearly Progress requirements (AYP).

“That is supposed to be a measure of how effective we are with certain subgroups,” Laub said.

To meet an indicator, the district must meet a minimal 75 percent. The lowest score Avon received was an 83.7 percent in 5^th-grade mathematics.
