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 teacher took me aside and said, 'I really want you to do well. What techniques can we use to help you pass?' 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 feel like you are a part of a big family. As far as sports are concerned, my daughter has played soccer, basketball and tennis. 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!
eds is an ok school, it has its ups and downs. Such as, the teachers, as one of the people have already said in their rating, that they do breath practically down your back! they get mad at things that come from outside of school and anything you do they pretty much threaten to suspend you! but there are also ups about evansville day school, there teachers can be nice, and it does help to your college and high school, and its a really great school at most times!
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 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.
