How the Evergreen Public-School Landscape Breaks Down
Evergreen, AL enrolls 1,097 students across 5 public schools reporting to the National Center for Education Statistics. The average student-teacher ratio across the city is 17.9:1, Schools must report at least five campuses in a city to appear in this listing, which is why very small towns may redirect to the broader county or state view.
The highest-ranked campus in Evergreen is Evergreen Elementary School, scoring 45/100 (D) with 342 enrolled students at the other level. Families should treat any single ranking as a starting point rather than a verdict — a school serving fewer at-risk students or offering more AP classes will score higher on resource-based composites even if individual teachers or programs elsewhere are stronger. The quality score framework is transparent and rebuilt from raw NCES and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) inputs, so each component can be inspected on the individual school pages linked in the table below.
Evergreen schools sit within multiple district boundaries, which matters for property taxes, redistricting votes, and bond measures. Each district files its own NCES F-33 financial return, meaning per-pupil spending can vary noticeably even between neighbouring campuses in the same city. Use the table to sort by enrollment, level, or district, then click any school name for campus-level demographics, Title I status, counselor and nurse staffing, AP courses, chronic-absenteeism rates, and district per-pupil spending. The sidebar links also connect Evergreen housing costs, wage data, and crime statistics — context many parents weigh alongside test-adjacent school signals when relocating.
Evergreen Elementary School accounts for 31.2% of all Evergreen public-school enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Evergreen-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A dominant campus often anchors a city's program landscape and absorbs a disproportionate share of district capital and staffing decisions. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Evergreen school enrollment varies 4.0× across entities
Evergreen school enrollment ranges from 85 students (lowest) to 342 students (highest), a spread of 257 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. Per-school staffing, programme depth, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same city based on enrollment shape — a 200-student magnet runs a different operational model than a 2,000-student comprehensive high school.
Evergreen has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 78.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Evergreen operates only 1 school district — among the most consolidated governance structures in the country
Most Evergreen school districts are a single unified district covering the whole city — a structural feature that simplifies inter-school comparison but concentrates policy authority. Consolidation produces narrower variance because resources pool across larger populations, but it can also mask intra-school district inequities — sub-school district differences within a single school district are not visible at this aggregation level. Consolidated systems typically rely more heavily on top-down funding formulas than on local revenue variability.
Evergreen student-teacher ratio is 17.9:1 — near the typical range (US average ~16) — aligned with the U.S. average of approximately 16:1
student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment — push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Evergreen is typically wider than the Evergreen-aggregate figure suggests.
The top-rated school in Evergreen is Evergreen Elementary School with a quality score of 45/100. There are 5 public schools in Evergreen with 1,097 total students.
