Summary:
Eva, Alabama, is served by a single school, Eva School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade within the Morgan County district.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that Eva School is a solid, above-average performer that consistently beats state averages in most subjects, despite serving a student body where 60% qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school’s clear strengths are in science and English/Language Arts. For example, 4th grade science proficiency is 74%, which is 24 points above the state average, and 3rd grade English proficiency is 82%, also well above state norms. The school maintains a 4-star rating and has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.2%, which is below the state average of 12%. However, there are areas of concern. Mathematics proficiency takes a noticeable dip in the middle grades, with only 23% of 6th graders and 26% of 7th graders proficient, before rebounding to 41% in 8th grade. Additionally, the school’s state ranking has declined over the past three years, from the 87th percentile to the 76th percentile, even though its star rating has remained steady.
The most dramatic change is in 3rd grade math, which plummeted by 30 percentage points in a single year, from 74% to 44% proficiency. This volatility may be due to a challenging cohort or changes in instruction, but it is a key metric to watch. On a positive note, 8th grade math improved significantly, jumping nearly 20 points. Overall, Eva School is effectively serving its community, offering strong literacy and science foundations while outperforming expectations given its demographic profile. The primary opportunity for improvement lies in stabilizing and strengthening middle-grade mathematics instruction.
