GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience as a High School Senior at Evans high school is a lot to explain. I came in as a freshman not really knowing every what to do, I was lost and needed help. Furthermore the teachers really help me get through it .

Evans High School isn't as bad as many say. They make sure that their kids are passing and do everything they can. The teachers are generally okay, however, if you cause issues, you may get targeted. I've never had an issue with my teachers or admin. They really like to showcase their kids' talents (academically or sports-wise).

My overall experience with Evans High School is that it's pretty okay there's no such a thing as a perfect school and an imperfect school, some schools excel in things that others don't and my school I'll say excels in getting the students engaged in their school and academics and after school activities are available and open to anyone. the part that I'll say my school doesn't excel in is making sure that the students understand the lesson and can explain it to one another with ease sometimes teachers think that what they said is understandable, but it's not and students end up cheating to get over with the work and they don't learn at the end. Something I would like to change is if teachers took their job seriously and with passion and if students also learned to respect each other more.

Students panhandled teachers for food, money, and rides home. At least one teacher gave their students food, thereby...

This school is excellent. The teachers and staff work very hard to aid students in academic performance and truly care. Students have mentors, exposure to rigorous curriculum, tutors, technology, extended opportunities, etc. They have worked hard to create a safe learning environment where students...

Absolutely terrible. Literally the worst school I've ever had to deal with as a parent. The assignments are sub par , the support is non -existent and the staff are completely indifferent. I ended up removing my child from that school and finding an alternative educational method. She is now headed...
