Summary

North High School is a public comprehensive high school in Evansville, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 with roughly 1,650 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. It stands out as a bright spot within its own district: North ranks 98th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 (76th percentile, 4 stars), while the district ranks 258th of 374 (2 stars). About 35.94% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025 — lower than every other EVSC high school, though higher than nearby suburban and choice schools.

Graduation is North's clearest strength. Its 95.9% graduation rate in 2024–2025 beats the district (88.3%) and state (89.7%), and trails only New Technical Institute (98.0%) among EVSC high schools; Reitz High School was at 94.4%, Harrison High School at 91.3%, and Central High School at 86.8%. Test scores also came in above district and state averages in 2025–2026, with 53.94% proficiency in SAT reading and 27.41% in SAT math. Still, math has slipped each year from 39.9% in 2022–2023, and suburban peers such as Castle High School, Tecumseh High School, and Gibson Southern High School outscore North in both subjects, with Signature School Inc far ahead. Chronic absenteeism is 20.5% — better than the district's 21.5%, but above Indiana's 16.7% and up from 15.1% in 2020–2021.

Results vary by student group. Special education students ranked in the 14th percentile statewide, down from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024; African American students were in the 38th percentile, down from the 75th; female students fell from the 84th–86th range to the 66th, while male students held in the low 80s. With per-student spending of $11,270 in 2023–2024 and a 17.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, North spends less than most EVSC high schools yet posts above-district and above-state outcomes.
