AVILLA R-XIII

Located at 400 Sarcoxie Street in Avilla, Missouri, the Avilla R-XIII school district serves as an essential educational cornerstone for its local community. Operating as an open, traditional public school district within the greater Joplin metropolitan region, Avilla R-XIII is classified in a distant rural setting where it manages a single, centralized school facility. The district focuses exclusively on primary and middle school education, offering instruction from kindergarten through eighth grade. Designed to nurture early childhood development and middle-school academic growth before students transition to regional high schools, the district offers a close-knit learning environment supported by its official web portal at avillapanthers.org.

During the 2024–2025 academic year, the district educated a small, highly connected student body of 114 children. To ensure every student receives comprehensive academic and emotional support, Avilla R-XIII maintains an exceptionally robust staffing model. The school is staffed by 27 full-time equivalent teachers alongside 3 instructional aides and 21 support staff members, bringing the total district team to over 51 full-time personnel. This favorable staffing ratio allows for remarkably small class sizes, individualized instruction, and a well-supported educational community tailored to meet the needs of every enrolled family.
