AVALON MIDDLE SCHOOL

AVALON MIDDLE SCHOOL is a public charter middle school that is part of the AVALON SCHOOL school district, located in ST. PAUL, MN with about 69 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. With about 4 teachers, AVALON MIDDLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

AVALON MIDDLE SCHOOL is a tuition-free, public charter school located in the Prospect Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. Known for its project-based learning (PBL) model, the school emphasizes a student-centered curriculum where learners engage in hands-on, interdisciplinary projects rather than traditional testing-heavy instruction. The school aims to foster a close-knit community, encouraging students to take ownership of their education through personalized learning goals and collaborative problem-solving.

As part of the broader Avalon School program, the middle school shares a philosophy of democratic education, where students are given a voice in their learning process and school environment. The school prioritizes critical thinking, communication, and social-emotional growth, aiming to prepare students for the transition to high school by building independence and academic curiosity in a supportive, small-school setting.
