Avon Lenox School is a wonderful school for our special children. Our children are in a very safe and supportive school. They have workbase learning and go into community to learn how to behave and sometimes eat properly. They have boy scouts and girl scouts. They have a wonderful P.E. program. They learn to communicate. A nurse is available for children who are medically fragile. Our principal, Mrs. Larry, supports the children, staff, and parents. She is always available to parents for PTO or to address concerns. At SACS review it is the only school to recieve exemplary scores in all areas with a recommendation to train other schools. It is a great school for children.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Test scores

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
