Summary

Evans Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 487 students in the El Paso County Colorado School District 49. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 61% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, yet it has become one of the region's most improved schools.

Evans has posted a dramatic academic turnaround. Just two years ago, the school ranked in the 28th percentile among Colorado elementary schools; today it sits at the 64th percentile (340th of 943 schools statewide). Math is the standout subject, with 51% of students proficient — well above the district (35.9%) and state (37.3%) averages. Among nearby schools, only Remington Elementary School (55.1%) posts a higher math proficiency rate. ELA proficiency is also solid at 50.5%, above both district and state averages. Perhaps most notably, Evans ranks in the 95th percentile for academic performance among low-income students — a remarkable achievement given its high poverty rate — and it now outranks several nearby schools with far more affluent student bodies, including Rocky Mountain Classical Academy and Mountain View Academy.

The school's main challenges are attendance and 5th grade performance. Chronic absenteeism sits at 34.2%, well above the district rate of 26.1% and the state rate of 28.4%, though it has improved from last year. Science proficiency in 5th grade (32.8%) trails district and state averages. On the positive side, Evans benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 — lower than most nearby schools — and has now posted two consecutive years of strong academic growth, suggesting the improvement is more than a one-year blip.
