Numbers and Trends
This page gathers key metrics about Evansdale Elementary and the wider community over time. Transparency in data helps us understand the impact of redistricting and highlights the trends that shape our neighborhood’s educational legacy.
Evansdale is not a school underutilizing its space. The 2024-2025 school year saw the school enrollment just belowthe listed capacity, according to the county.
As of early March 2026, the waitlist for Evansdale 2026-27 enrollment was 71 students. If enrollment stays steady until next year (it is currently higher than reported last year), then Evansdale would easily be able to reach its capacity and exceed it if necessary.
Evansdale enrollment numbers are well above 450 students, meaning it does not require a direct county subsidy.
Over the past 3 full school years, Evansdale's student attendance has increased each year. It is consistently ahead of the county average.
Not only are chronic absences (more than 15 days in a school year) much lower than the county average, but they have also been reduced by 50% over the past 3 years at Evansdale.
