Summary

Evans High School is a small, alternative public school in rural Evans, Louisiana, serving 364 students in grades PK through 12 as part of the high-performing Vernon Parish school district.

Evans High School stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track to graduate. The school has reported a 0% dropout rate for four consecutive years and a 95% graduation rate, far exceeding the state average. Academically, the school is a powerhouse in mathematics, with 5th, 6th, and 8th graders scoring proficiency rates near 90%—roughly 40 points higher than the state average. Students also perform well on end-of-course exams in Geometry, English II, and Biology. A low student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1 helps create a personalized learning environment that supports these strong results. However, the school faces a growing challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 6% to 25% in just three years, and shows a notable weakness in U.S. History, where proficiency lags behind state averages.

Compared to nearby Merryville High School, Evans outperforms in nearly every academic category, including a 31-point lead in math proficiency (81% vs. 50%) and a 21-point lead in social studies (65% vs. 44%). Evans also has a lower dropout rate (0% vs. 0.8%) and a higher graduation rate (95% vs. 90.2%). Both schools struggle with chronic absenteeism, though Evans’ rate (25.2%) is slightly lower than Merryville’s (28.5%). Evans serves a higher percentage of low-income students (77% vs. 63%), making its academic achievements particularly noteworthy.
