In 2007 the Pennsylvania Legislature commissioned a Costing Out Study to identify the cost of public education. Avon Grove School District was recognized as achieving high percentages of students scoring either advanced or proficient on PSSA math and reading tests; and having relatively low per-pupil expenditures. Avon Grove School District was one of only 87 schools districts that were identified as high performing in student achievement of the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. Efficiency was gauged by administrative spending, number of teachers per pupil and maintenance/operation spending per pupil.
Avon Grove School District was ranked 88th out of 498 Pennsylvania School Districts in 2008 by the Pittsburgh Business Times. The ranking was based on three years of student academic performance on the PSSA mathematics, writing, reading and one year of science.
