My son went to school here from 2nd-5th grade. He had moved over from a different district and the…read moretransition was hard at first. Avalon is HEAVY on the electronics. Everything is done via their school computer, including daily homework. This was an adjustment at first but once he got accustomed it was not an issue. Towards 5th grade, they actually started assigning some homework and assignment via hard copies. The atmosphere is great! Lots of extracurricular activities that kids can be a part of such as sports, band, cheerleading, etc. The school also puts out several school events throughout the year. Too many of you ask me but the kids enjoy them. My son never experienced any negativity at this school however I will say that there are some teachers in which he excelled with. Mr. Solorio was his favorite teacher and with good reason. He really cares about his students and ensures that all his students excel academically and socially. He goes out of his way to make sure that students feel proud of themselves and accomplished. All schools need a Mr.Solorio!! Only downside for us was the drop off/pick up line. No matter how many times they tell drivers not to park and get out of their vehicles, they never listen which cause the lines to get backed up. You're better off parking and walking to get your child.

I hope this is not how unorganized and counter productive the schools and all other processes are in this district. Horrible. I can see from previous reviews they haven't done a thing to fix the registration process. They might want to send a few people to other districts to see how they can do this way more efficiently.
