I believe that Eva school is a place where kids can learn and not fear bullying. I also believe that there are teachers that have a true desire to teach the young people that will be the future leaders of our country.

Eva School is the best school my kids have ever been to. He is in seventh grs=ade and absolutly loves his teachers and when he moved here he was welcomed with open arms. I woill not have my kids go any where else.

Both of my children attend Eva School. My daughter is in the 6th grade and my son is in the 1st grade. I am very proud of my children in their accomplishments in school and I know that they do succeed because of the faculty and staff at Eva. The Principal is always availible to help you in anyway. My children have had great teachers each year. I went to Eva from Kindergarten through 8th grade, it is the same as it was then. Each child is respected and encouraged to do their best regardless of their socio economical background. I am a proud parent of children who attend Eva School.

'Well, to be honest I am not a parent, but I am a former student of Eva. I am actually 20 years old now. Eva does not play politics as much as one of the previous parents said that it does. My family did not have alot of money when I went to school there, but I did very well in class as well as sports. I was always involved in everything. The teachers are awesome which is alot more than I can say for my high school(vinemont). I personally know Mrs. Burt and she is a great principal. Some of my favorite teachers at Eva were Mrs. Balch, Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Cain, and Mrs. Luhman. I will make sure that my children go to Eva and hopefully by then it will become a high school again.'

My daughter is in the second grade at Eva and we love the school. I find it very special that Principal Burt addresses all of the kids by name when I cant keep the 15 in my daughters class straight! The teachers are great also and push the kids to learn as much as they can. I have had other parents tell me that Eva is doing much more than their school's are. Two teachers stand out for me Kristi Landers and Carol Bennich . These two ladies are fantastic teachers and they really care about your children . So I give Eva an A+ .

I think this school is fantastic. When we first moved here from out of state, my child's teacher was very welcoming and helped my child aclimate to everything, really helping him to make a smooth transition. I feel that with the love and attention and care he's had from his teachers at Eva, he is getting a better education here than he was at the private school he used to attened.

I feel like this school needs a new principal. One that will stand beside the students, that will listen, understand, and believe in them. Also need a change in teachers. Need teachers that are not out just for the high class group. Need teachers that works and understand the low class students also. Make them feel apart of the school system. In other words if you do not have any money, then your child is left out at this school.I am sorry i feel this way, but i have had alot of problems with the teachers and the principal at this school. Eva is not a high class school, but they sure act as if they are.
