Original Research by School Decision on Evans Elementary School
This school is a public elementary school in Tempe and a regular school in its type. It serves a grade band with a range that could not be determined from available data. It is not a charter school.
The school’s record is almost entirely absent from the data available for this report. There are no state assessment results, no proficiency data, and no graduation rate, which is expected for an elementary school as those measures typically apply to older grades. Enrollment figures, student demographics, free-or-reduced-price lunch counts, special education and English learner counts, and chronic absenteeism data are all missing. There is no information on discipline, staffing, course access, or attendance. The school’s operational status is listed as inactive.
Because so few data points exist, a parent or resident will have very little to go on when evaluating this school. The comparison set that would place it among districts in Maricopa County could not produce any metrics because the underlying school data is absent. No programs were reported. The district brief for Tempe School District turned up no recent parent-relevant changes such as policy shifts, curriculum updates, tax measures, or referendums.
Tempe itself is an inner suburb of Phoenix with a character shaped significantly by Arizona State University's main campus, which is deeply integrated with the downtown area. The northern part of the city near the light rail line and ASU is fairly dense and urbanized, with high-rise development along Tempe Town Lake and the pedestrian-oriented Mill Avenue district. The southern parts of the city, where this school is located at an address on South College Avenue, become less dense, with single-family homes, strip malls, and lower-density office parks. Major employers include ASU, State Farm, and several corporate headquarters such as DriveTime and GoDaddy. Housing values in the area around a typical figure for the zip code, with rents near a typical monthly figure, are positioned relative to broader market trends. The area’s affordability metrics place homeownership at a stretch for a typical household compared to national averages.
Given that the school’s status is inactive and virtually no operational or academic data is available, any parent seeking to understand this school should contact the Tempe School District directly for clarity on the school’s current status, whether it is open and serving students, and what its academic record shows. Without that information, forming a picture of the school’s academic pathway, peer environment, or student support is not possible from the record provided here.
