National city placement

One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Evergreen Park has more public-school enrollment than 24% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Evergreen Park High School enrolls 35.2% of Evergreen Park's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio

3 of Evergreen Park's 6 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.

Campus spread matters more than the city mean

The 16-point gap between Northwest School and Evergreen Park High School shows the range hidden by Evergreen Park's average Resource Investment Index. The city figure is useful for national placement, but families ultimately choose among campuses with different grade spans, enrollment, district affiliations, and reported support fields. Start with schools serving the relevant grade level, then compare the index components rather than assuming the city average describes any one classroom.

City enrollment: Top 76%
School count: Top 79%
Resource Index average: 89th percentile
Teacher staffing: 79th percentile

Evergreen Park High School accounts for 35.2% of all Evergreen Park public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Evergreen Park-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Evergreen Park school enrollment varies 3.9× across entities

Evergreen Park school enrollment ranges from 242 students (lowest) to 941 students (highest), a spread of 699 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Evergreen Park student-teacher ratio is 13.0:1 — low (typically associated with smaller schools or per-school staffing investment that often correlates with stronger per-student supports)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
