Ethel M. Evans Elementary

Tucked into the heart of Garden Grove, Evans Elementary sits in one of Orange County's most culturally rich and tightly knit communities, where Vietnamese, Latino, and Korean influences shape the neighborhood's food, festivals, and everyday life. The school posts solid scores in English and math that put it well above average for the state, making it a reliable choice for families who want strong academics without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of some nearby districts. It's a good fit for parents who value a diverse, community-rooted environment and want their kids growing up with a genuine sense of the world around them.
