One way to do it is with the -egen- function -axis()- from -egenmore- on SSC. 

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. egen mean = mean(mpg) , by(rep78)

. egen axis = axis(mean rep78), label(rep78) reverse
(5 missing values generated)

. scatter mpg weight , by(axis)

In your case, I think you need 

egen axis = axis(adv_avg school_name),  reverse label(school_name)

I have been using the below command to generate graphs for  different schools. The graphs appear in alphabetical order of school_name, where I'd rather them be in order of their adv_avg value (highest to lowest). Is there a way to do this?

twoway (connected adv  year if group=="All Students", sort) (line adv_avg year if group=="All Students", sort), ytitle(% Proficient and Above) ///
 xtitle(Years)  by(, title(All Students)) by(school_name, style(compact))
