High performing school with a very dedicated staff. Very caring,experienced leadership that embraces diversity. Close Quote

Do not be fooled by ranking. This is terrible school. The second grade teacher told first grade knowledge. Staff and principal are not good to kid when kid has problem with their teacher. Nightmare. Close Quote

School does very good on rankings and that is a big draw. But like a lot of parents, there are second thoughts. The teaching and curriculum is targeted towards high test scores and gaming the system and not towards challenging academics or enhancing education for kids. As someone said earlier, people are transferring kids to private schools 40 minutes away in Dallas.
There is little incremental learning with the entire focus on improving test scores. Also the student/ teacher ratio is one of the worse in the district. Close Quote

We heard lots of good things about Evans and it turned out to be a nice school but standard of education is barely average. We moved here from Barksdale Elementary and both our kids were bored to death in Evans. We had to move them to a private school. Many of our neighbors had similar complaints. One rented out their home and they are moving to Rice/Jasper area because they didn't like below par academics here.

Enrollment is increasing rapidly thanks. To new apartment buildings and subdivisions. High school is already overpopulated. I wish district had their focus on education. Close Quote

This is a quaint new neighborhood school, with very involved parents, and experienced teachers. The school was designed to be within walking distance of most of its students, so it is centrally located. Parents and children are both very happy with this school and intentionally live within its boundary lines. Top rated by statistics, but even more importantly, by parents. Close Quote
