2022 Best Schools with Gifted and Talented Programs in the Evansville Area

Signature School

• Public School
• EVANSVILLE, IN
• 9-12
• Rating 4.2 out of 5  112 reviews

Senior: I really like a lot of things about Sig! The environment is one that encourages individual thought, success, and growth. Because we are such a small school, there is a strong sense of community and a general kindness surrounding everyone you meet. I’m a senior, and I feel as though I could walk up to anyone in my class and start a conversation! The teachers also truly care about their subjects and students (although there are some who are more strict than others) and, as a student, you have ample opportunity to explore subjects you are interested in. The only thing that I think is an issue is the amount of pressure this school and it’s environment places on academic success. Although a drive to learn and succeed is important to every school, Signature has issues with student mental health as a result of the amount of pressure they feel to do well. That aside, however, I feel as though Sig is a wonderful fit for students who are academically motivated and enjoy a smaller atmosphere...Read 112 Reviews

• Warrick County School Corporation, IN
• 9-12
• Rating 3.96 out of 5  367 reviews

Senior: Being new to the Newburgh District my freshman year, Castle High School was very welcoming. The students were welcoming and so were the teachers. I remember on the first day of school of my freshman year, I was late and the office and my homeroom teacher were very understanding. Now that I am a Senior I am glad my parents decided to move to Newburgh. It was the best decision they made for me and my education has grew since being here. With every high school you will have teachers you don't like or people you don't like, that's just life. Something the school could fix is there sporting departments. They're sport teams are great, it's just the way students get to be number 1 or get to be the "favorite". The coaches need to work on being a team player and giving everyone a fair shot...Read 367 Reviews

• Rating 4.02 out of 5  199 reviews

Senior: North High school is very exceptional about getting students involved in different types of activities. For me, I got involved into Volleyball, and ended up playing all four years of high school. For those who don't like sports there are many other activities that include: Key Club, Student Leadership Advisory Council, Student Council. Link Crew and many more! Along with this, the environment at North High School is very welcoming. The teachers are very patient and understanding with the students, and they make it a very healthy environment to learn and grow as an individual...Read 199 Reviews

• Rating 3.57 out of 5  49 reviews

Alum: Tecumseh Jr/Sr High School was a very good high school overall, but they lacked opportunities for student growth. There were very few advanced courses offered and the music/arts departments were lacking. All of the teachers were very helpful and mindful of the students. There was good leadership in the school...Read 49 Reviews

The teachers care about the students and work hard to provide the best possible education. The staff is very friendly and the students love them! The administration is very involved all throughout the school and is also friendly toward the students. The school is very secure and safe for students and I would recommend this school to anyone looking for the feel of a small-town school...Read 6 Reviews

Parent: My daughter is getting a great education at Scott. There's not a lot of diversity there though. She's from Taiwan. There are very few non-white students. Most of the teachers there are very good, but a few have difficulty understanding that different children learn in different ways...Read 1 Review

Senior: Daviess County High School is an incredible school! My favorite part about it is the fact that it has given me a unique opportunity to graduate from high school with my Associates Degree in Science. The school harbors a great sense of community for all of its students. Leaders and staff at the school make a conscious effort to make everyone feel included and to make sure everyone enjoys their time at school as much as possible. DCHS provides many helpful resources to ensure that students reach their full potential in their high school career...Overall, Daviess County High School is a great school that I would recommend to anyone in search of a superior education.Read 374 Reviews

Gibson Southern High School

• Rating 4.12 out of 5  132 reviews

Junior: GSHS has been great for me, but I wish the sports were better. Our football and girls' basketball teams are good, but I play volleyball. We haven't even gone to state in a LONG time. Other than that, everything is GREAT. Cafeteria food is mouth-watering most days, teachers are understanding and committed, there are SO many clubs and activities, there's a huge pick of science and math courses, advanced and not, and the theatre department is very welcoming and fun to be a part of. I'm obviously biased because I go there, but if you're looking for a small-ish high school with huge academic advantages, I would 100% recommend!...Read 132 Reviews
