The city of Evansville, Illinois has only one school, Evansville Attendance Center, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 114 students. The school is part of the Sparta CUSD 140 district, which is ranked 626 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Evansville Attendance Center's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below state and district averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 14.3% to 46.2% in English Language Arts and 10% to 33.3% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 51.2% to 56.7% in ELA and 32.7% to 42.5% in Math. The school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate on the ISA (Illinois Science Assessment) was also below the state average at 35.7%.
Additionally, Evansville Attendance Center faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 28.95%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,213, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be effectively translated into improved student outcomes.
