Summary

Evans High School is a public high school located in Evans, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,875 students. It is part of the Columbia County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Evans High School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Georgia high schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years, placing it well above the state average and indicating strong academic performance. The school has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.4% to 94.7% over the past few years, which is a key strength compared to the state average. However, the school's performance on the Milestones Assessments is mixed, as it outperforms the state average in some subjects like Biology and United States History, but lags behind the Columbia County district average in others, such as Algebra I and American Literature and Composition.

When comparing Evans High School to other high schools in the Columbia County district, such as Greenbrier High School and Lakeside High School, it becomes evident that Evans High School is performing at a lower level in several academic areas, particularly in math and English/language arts. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30.42% to 41.12% in recent years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to some nearby schools.
