Summary

Evans School is a PK–6 elementary school in Evansville, Indiana that serves 473 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, and it currently ranks near the bottom of Indiana schools — 945th of 1,015 in 2025–2026, at the 7th percentile with 0 stars. That is far below the district overall, which ranks 258th of 374 districts at the 31st percentile with 2 stars. In the reported history, Evans School has never risen above the 14th percentile: 12th percentile in 2024–2025, 10th in 2023–2024, 12th in 2022–2023, and 14th in 2021–2022, each with 1 star except the most recent year.

Test proficiency is low across the board. In 2025–2026 all-grade ILEARN results, Evans scored 11.02% in English Language Arts, 13.52% in Math, and 17.74% in Science, compared with district rates of 34.34%, 34.47%, and 32.88%. Evans has the lowest ELA proficiency among nearby schools, including Highland Elementary School (47.06% ELA, 60th percentile), Vogel Elementary School (42.54%), and Stringtown Elementary School (35.63%). Only Dexter Elementary School and Lincoln School are similarly low. Fifth grade is a particular concern: 3.7% proficient in ELA and 7.41% in Math. Relative bright spots include 3rd grade Math at 22.73% and 6th grade Science at 20.59%, though both remain below district and state averages.

Chronic absenteeism is another serious issue: 33.6% in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools and well above the district (21.5%) and state (16.7%) — roughly one in three students was chronically absent. Evans also has a high free/reduced-lunch rate of 72.52% and relatively high per-student spending of $13,650, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.5. Notably, Delaware Elementary School (70.98% FRL) and Cedar Hall Community School (71.17% FRL) serve similar populations yet score higher in ELA and Math, suggesting the most urgent needs here are attendance and targeted instruction in the weakest grades.
