Evans School

Summary:

Evans School is an elementary school located in Evansville, Indiana, serving grades PK-6 with 499 students. It is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp district, which is ranked 242 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating. The student racial makeup of Evans School is predominantly White (55.51%), followed by African American (23.65%), and Hispanic (6.41%).

Evans School consistently underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.02% of Evans students were proficient in ELA compared to 37.25% for the district, and 18.22% were proficient in Math compared to 37.06% for the district. Additionally, Evans School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 35.7% to 37.8% over the past 3 years, much higher than the district average of around 17-20%. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.32% to 84.97% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the district average of around 50-70%.

When comparing Evans School to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Stockwell Elementary and Highland Elementary, it is clear that Evans is an underperforming school. These nearby schools have significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower free/reduced lunch rates compared to Evans. Despite the higher spending per student at Evans School, the school's performance lags behind the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and a more comprehensive approach to addressing the school's challenges may be necessary.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
