Evansdale United is a grassroots coalition of parents, teachers, alumni, and neighbors united by one goal: keeping Evansdale Elementary open and thriving.
The DeKalb County SAP process threatens to close our school and displace our children — and we refuse to let that happen without a fight.
We believe every child deserves to attend their neighborhood school. We are organizing, showing up, and making our voices heard.

Evansdale Elementary: Past & Present
Evansdale Elementary School has been a pillar of the Doraville community for decades, consistently recognized for its academic excellence and unique French Immersion program. Its history is woven into the lives of generations of families who have walked its colorful hallways, benefiting from a curriculum that values diversity, global perspectives, and neighborhood-centric learning.
Today, Evansdale stands as one of the most successful Title I schools in the DeKalb County School District, successfully serving a diverse student body that reflects the strength of Doraville. The proposed closure doesn't just threaten a building; it threatens the pedagogical framework and the safe, familiar environment that hundreds of children depend on daily.
