he Avon Local School District is the only school district in Lorain County to earn an “Excellent with Distinction” the past two years and an “Excellent” rating on the state of Ohio’s report card for nine consecutive years. Continuously improving the quality of education for all of its students, managing the growth, and being fiscally responsible to the community continue to be the goals of the district. 

The Avon Local School District is the fourth fastest growing public school district in the state and the district has successfully planned for the increased enrollment in the schools. A new Avon High School was opened in 1997, and a large academic and fine arts addition was completed in 2008, to make it one of the premier high school educational facilities in the state.? Heritage North Elementary School was opened in the fall of 2002, to educate fifth and sixth grade students and Heritage South Elementary School was opened in the fall of 2005, to educate third and fourth grade students. Avon East Elementary School has been enlarged and updated to educate the first and second grade students.

Avon High School, grades 9 – 12, offers an array of technological support and a diversified curriculum, and students are immersed in leading-edge opportunities required for successful participation in the global society. In addition, students can take courses at Lorain Community College and have those courses count for both high school and college credit.

Avon Middle School, grades 7 & 8, offers a wide array of learning opportunities and can take courses that count toward high school credit. 

Heritage North Elementary School is a state-of-the-art technologically advanced elementary school where children maintain the innocence associated with an elementary school while providing a program designed to enable them to have a rigorous and successful academic experience.

Heritage South Elementary School includes support for students who need intervention as well as those who need enrichment. Students frequently complete projects that integrate the most up-to-date technology, including lessons via Interactive Video Distance Learning with classrooms and/or instructors in locations across Ohio, the nation and sometimes the world.

Avon East Elementary School is a child-centered school that maintains the belief that every student possesses talent that is continually nurtured.  The staff at Avon East creates academic excellence through high expectations and a diverse array of curriculum offerings.

Avon Village School is where it all begins for the public school student in Avon. Serving Kindergarten students and housing the Educational Service Center’s Special Needs Preschool, it manages to retain its small town atmosphere while offering a wide variety of learning opportunities to its students.

In addition to the academic facilities being upgraded, the athletic facilities have also been recently renovated. In 2002, two new softball fields and 6 tennis courts were built at the high school. In 2004, new bleachers and lights were installed at the athletic stadium that houses football, soccer, track and baseball. In 2007, the district installed a new track and a turf field for football and soccer and renovated the varsity baseball field, while enlarging the parking lot. Other improvements included a new 4,000-square-foot weight room and an addition to the wrestling room at the high school.

We would like to share our gratitude for the support and commitment you, the people of Avon, have demonstrated for your schools. Please join in celebrating our successes and help us to continue to improve the academic achievements of all of our children. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
