About Our Schools

Welcome to the EVSC: A school system built around your student.

At the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC), we believe that every child deserves an education tailored to their unique potential. As a tuition-free public school, we have the perfect spot for your student to learn, grow, and thrive.

Cultivating Strong Foundations: EVSC Elementary Schools

Our elementary schools are the heart of our neighborhoods, designed to serve and uplift our community. We are deeply invested in high-quality academic outcomes for our youngest learners, which is reflected in our students' consistently high IREAD scores.

We are proud of the national recognition our elementary schools have earned:

  • National Blue Ribbon School: Oak Hill Elementary was recently awarded this prestigious title by the U.S. Department of Education—one of only 16 schools in Indiana to carry the distinction.
  • Top-Tier Student Support: Several of our elementary schools hold the nationally recognized ASCA Model Program designation, setting the gold standard for school counseling and student support nationwide.

Fostering Discovery: EVSC Middle Schools

Middle school is a pivotal time when students begin to discover who they are and what they excel at. Our middle schools provide a safe, engaging environment for exploration. We offer:

  • Honors Tracks to challenge academically driven students.
  • Robust Art & Athletic Programs to build teamwork and creativity.
  • Early Exposure to our specialized high school programs, setting a clear path for their future.

Empowering Future Leaders: EVSC High Schools

Across our six high schools, we provide the tools, courses, and programs necessary to put students on a fast track to college and career success. Last year alone, EVSC seniors earned more than $42 million in scholarships—a true testament to the dedication and excellence of our students.

Our recipe for high school success includes:

  • College Credit Opportunities: Access to 32 Advanced Placement (AP) courses and over 100 dual credit courses.
  • Specialized Pathways: Eight unique specialist programs designed to dive deep into specific career interests.
  • Advanced Fine Arts: Exceptional offerings, including a full strings program and the EVSC Honors program, which provides advanced instruction in choir, strings, and band.

High school is the perfect time to discover your passion. The EVSC goes far beyond the traditional classroom by offering eight innovative high school programs that let students immerse themselves in the career paths that actually interest them.

Beyond the Classroom: The Whole Student Experience

EVSC high school students don't just excel academically; they shine outside the classroom, too. We offer a myriad of after-school programs, clubs, and athletic teams to ensure a well-rounded educational experience.

  • Championship Athletics: Our schools regularly compete for sectional, regional, and state titles across IHSAA-sanctioned sports.
  • Performing Arts: Our music, theater, and arts programs put on dozens of highly anticipated public performances every year.

At the EVSC, these activities aren't just "extras"—they are an essential part of what makes our education whole.
