I am a graduate of EHS and after three miserable years in the Janesville School District I open enrolled my daughter to Evansville. She's doing much better in attendance and academics. There's less drama. Teachers are more willing to help students. As far as the principal goes, I think he's arrogant and condescending toward students and parents. He has a punitive way of thinking and rather than handling conflicts himself is too quick to police. Evansville has excellent parent participation as well as community support for varsity sports; freshman and junior varsity not so much.
Overall the school is pretty decent. Most teachers are actively engaged with parents once you reach out to them. They have a very strong music program and new facilities, but elective courses could be beefed up in regrads to foreign language. Currently they only offer spanish.
I should know, I went to the Evansville schools K-12. It's a great town to live in, it's a great school system, and no matter what the kids say while they're in school (haha) once they leave they end up missing it. :)
I graduated from this school district and have taught in this district myself. I currently have four children in the school district and would not think about moving to another district. Evansville is a great small (but growing) community where people are kind and go out of their way to help others. My children are learning to be their own person, to set goals and strive to reach their goals. I would live no place else until my five children are through school.
