Summary

Evansville High is a public high school in Evansville, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 with 497 students as part of the Evansville Community School District, a district that ranks 217 of 432 in the state. The school ranks 230 of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 57th percentile with 3 stars — slightly above its district's 50th-percentile standing. Its recent history is one of recovery: it was rated 1 star in 2017–18 and 2018–19, climbed to a peak of the 69th percentile in 2021–22, dipped to the 46th percentile in 2022–23, and has settled around the 54th–57th percentile in the last three reported years.

Test scores show an unusual profile. In 2025–26 10th-grade assessments, Evansville was well above the state in English language arts (59.13% vs. 48.47%) and above the state in science (49.57% vs. 43.2%), while math was only slightly above the state (43.48% vs. 42.93%). Social studies is the clear weak spot: at 34.86%, it is 13.39 points below the state and lower than every nearby traditional high school except Brodhead High. ELA is nearly tied with Edgerton High (59.29%) but below Belleville High (64.29%) and Oregon High (63.07%). Science improved from 45.26% to 49.57%, math slipped from 46.32%, and social studies fell sharply from 45.45% — a decline the district saw as well.

Graduation is a strength at 96.4%, with a 0.6% dropout rate, both better than the state though not top among neighbors. Chronic absenteeism is a watch item at 17.4%, above the district's 14.3% and higher than Edgerton High, Oregon High, Parkview High, and Stoughton High. Evansville spends $15,216 per student — the lowest among traditional nearby high schools — and its student–teacher ratio of 15.4 has risen for three straight years, suggesting efficiency but possible capacity pressure. Results are uneven across student groups: female students rank notably higher than the school overall, while special education students (38th percentile) and low-income students (40th percentile) rank below the overall 57th percentile, though low-income students improved dramatically from the 8th percentile in 2022–23.

This is a absolutely horrible school district. Lack of curriculum. Administrators who are bullies. Teachers who want to collect a check, and show no results. HORRIBLE all the way around. Close Quote
