Summary:
Evansville High is the only public high school in the Evansville Community School District, serving grades 9–12 to 497 students in Evansville, Wisconsin — so every district-level high school figure is really a reading on this one building.
On traditional outcomes, the school performs above the state: a 96.4% graduation rate versus Wisconsin's 92.0%, and a 0.6% dropout rate, roughly half the state's 1.1%. In grade-10 testing, English Language Arts is the standout at 59.13% proficient — about 10.7 points above the state — and Science is also strong at 49.57%, roughly 6.4 points above. Both subjects improved year over year while the state results dipped slightly. Mathematics sits close to the state average at 43.48%. The surrounding context looks favorable: $15,216 spent per student, a 15.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and 21.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
The clear exception is grade-10 Social Studies, where proficiency fell to 34.86% — down about 10.6 points from 45.45% and roughly 13 points below the state — even as the other subjects held or improved, which points to a subject-specific issue rather than a school-wide decline. Chronic absenteeism at 17.4% is nearly identical to the state's 17.3% but above the district's 14.3%, making the high school the building pushing district absenteeism up. In accountability, the school earns 3 stars and ranks 230th of 533 schools (57th percentile), continuing a steady, slightly-above-middle pattern. Overall, this is a solid school with strong literacy and graduation results and one concentrated weakness worth watching.
