I attended EDS for two years (11-12). I graduated a few years ago. I wish I would have heard about this institution sooner in my school career! The environment is such a positive one, and the teachers genuinely care about the students. My first semester there I was doing poorly in a class and my

He then proceeded to call my mother and rave about my brilliance and that it needed to be applied to his class. Teachers there can see the potential in every student and will bend over backwards to help them succeed. The college counselor is the high school principal and will make sure 100% of the graduating seniors are enrolled in college. The cost of tuition is completely worth it. Best school in Evansville!

My family has been at EDS for 8 years. I now have a primary school student and a middle school student. I couldn't say enough great things about Day School. We have been extremely happy there. The teachers are wonderful and really care about their students. The parents are very involved and you

We may not be the best team but the girls have a great time and learn how to play. I am sending my kids to EDS because of their superior academics not for sports. We will be continuing onto high school at EDS and I expect that my girls will receive academic scholarships. Best school in Evansville! Read less

eds is an ok school, it has its ups and downs.

I am a former Day School student, and I can say I liked it there. The teachers are ready and willing to help you with any problem, and no student has to feel uncomfortable about asking a question in class. For me, it never seemed like there were cliques; everyone knew each other and there was rarely
... Read more drama for my class and surrounding classes. A new student can easily come from another school and fit in well so long as they're willing to. Because there are so few students, it's hard to get enough players for sports; for example, this coming fall of 2008 there may not be a girls soccer team because many people have left. For the future, I wouldn't send my own children there because I know some students don't grasp onto social skills as much as they may want, others may end up just fine. Read less

As an alumna of the school, I have to say the teachers are excellent. Day School provided me with plenty of skills to survive on the college level. My one issue was that I was not accepted into the school population so readily. Part of that was my fault, part of that was the fault of the cliquish

I can say that EDS is the best school in the Evansville area. However, that is a rather pathetic statement. Given the chance, I would not send my children to any school in the region. College placement is poor, students are generally unmotivated, and the combination shows in the general lack of school

I am currently a student at Evansville Day School. I really love the small classes and the one-on-one that the teachers provide you with. I highly recommend this shool to students that came from a private school and want the same type of environment. :) ~*Caroline*~

I'm a current student at Evansville Day School. The teachers really really care about you, they'll talk to you like a real person and not just like a child. You get to know everyone in the school, from kindergarden to seniors. Better yet, no one really cares what your grade is. Cliques AREN'T very common

You're definitely challenged, and I mean it. You are definitely put to the test here, I'm still in middle school and taking geometry with quite a few high schoolers. We have band, strings, and flute. We have dances, parties, plays, and much more here. Sports aren't that big priority, but still here. Read less

I am a current student at Evansville Day School. The environment there is GREAT! The teachers are always there for you. Even if you are the only one having problems.

The parent evolvement at EDS is not to much but not to little. Parents are aloud to chaperone field trips and eat lunch with the class is necessary. Over all since I have been a member of the Day school family I have loved it there. And no one can say otherwise. Read less

As a parent of three at EDS, I can say that we are thrilled with what we see. Each child is pushed to achieve his/her best in a warm and caring environment. I have taught in a public school over fifteen years and while I recognize the excellence of many public school instructors, the learning environment

Extracurricular opportunities are more than ample. Students have the chance to play sports, sing in musicals, be active with numerous community services and more. Tuition is high, no question, but what better way to invest your money than your child's education? Our children come home at the end of the day excited about learning and anxious to share every bit of their day. It's Evansville's little gem. Read less
