Avoca West Elementary School

Some years years were ok if a child was assigned a good teacher. Other years were a complete waste. All years were a struggle with ineffective administration.

Our first and last year at this school. I cannot wrap my head around the lack of homework or the seriousness of keeping a consistent math program. Their seems to be a lack of continuity between the superintendent and reality. The teachers have it really easy here and should put more emphasis on teaching in general.

Wonderful community, great principal, safe and nurturing environment.

I have two children attending Avoca and we have come in from out of state this year. I am amazed at the hunger my kids have to learn, and the amount of new skills they have mastered in less than a year, and the awesome staff I interact with. It seems like everyone knows my kids' names even though we are a new family. My son has a teacher who is young and relatively new to the school and she is PHENOMENAL. I have much respect for the principal who is incredibly down to earth and approachable. I have had my kids at both public and private schools and Avoca stands out as the best education decision we have made. From the arts, to reading enrichment services, chess, the school grounds, and the surrounding community, it's all pretty surreal!
