This school has wonderful teachers. Its one of the better middle schools in Lubbock. As for the rating given 5-13-2010, ALL OF THE SCHOOLS have that, unfortunately. But Evans has a very LOW number of incidents per year...Maybe 3 per year. Compared to OL Slaton Middle School, this place is perfect. OL Slaton is crime, drug and violence ridden. Children are SAFE at Evans Middle School. Talk about over dramatic for the other review.

This school is TERRIBLE!!! A few days ago two kids got busted for smoking, during school, in THE BATHROOM!!! If you value your child's life then you WON'T send them here. Instead try Christ The King Cathedral School.

TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
