Avon Grove Intermediate School

I LOVE AGIS!!!!!!! There are no flaws in anything that I've seen EVERYTHING IS AWESOME HERE!!!!!!:D

It came to my attention this morning, while signing off on my son's work, that suddenly in the 6th grade Purple Pod spelling is no longer an issue. What's up with that? Fancy grids, blocks & chunks, scribble all over the page. But spelling is not corrected????

We moved from Delaware 2 years ago. Our daughter went to a private school so we thought she would breeze through the transition to a new school, especially a public school despite the great test scores and reputation. We were shocked, her very nice private school that we were paying a fortune for didn't compare to the education in the Avon Grove school district. The first year was pretty tough, getting her caught up. The teachers have been wonderful, the schools/campus are great. Not to mention how family oriented the area is in general. We couldn't have picked a better area to move to.

My student was originally placed in a math class below ability. It was a struggle to upgrade to a higer math class. My student is not overall challenged by the curriculum at AGIS. Moreover, both the Guidance office and administration seem to have their hands full handling bullying, rumors and intimidation issues, which seem to be widespread. They also had difficulty making sure my student got to the assigned lunch period, and have let them go hungry without lunch. I would like to see more homework and some community service projects.

My daughter started AGCS last year and is now going into first grade. I cannot tell you enough how well she is doing!! She is reading at a 2nd grade level or above. She loves the school, I love the teachers and believe she is getting the best education in the world. I am so grateful for this school and cannot stress enough how wonderful it is!

AGCS is a wonderful place. Chester County's best kept secret. My kids have flourished there!

The switch to Avon Grove Charter School was the best move I have made for my kids. My children are receiving a higher level of education while being introduced to programs they would not otherwise have had the opportunity to do so. School is actually something our kids look forward to attending instead of dread. I cannot stress enough the quality of programs and staff at the Charter school, as well as the level of parental involvement that is encouraged. In the traditional public school system, my kids were just a number. At the Avon Grove Charter School, each child is treated as an individual and actually receives an individualized education. Once again, BEST move we have ever made for our children

Avon Grove Charter School is a wonderful School that has an education system based around the theatrical arts! However I have noticed some signs of favortism.

AGCS is the best school in the region. It has a reputation in Southern Chester County that rivals even the most prestigious private schools. My children have been at AGCS for two years and are leaps and bounds ahead of their counterparts in the local public schools. We were thrilled to learn that AGCS placed 3rd among all schools in Chester County and 1st among charter schools in the recent PSSA writing assessment! The teachers and administration at AGCS are the most caring helpful people a family could ask for. The school also has a dress code policy that encourages students to respect themselves and communicate school pride to everyone in the community. AGCS operates on a lottery system, and doesn't charge tuition. Even so, it is far better than most schools that do!
