This Evansville School Has Been Named the Best in America

Signature School Earns the Top Charter School Ranking

Evansville has plenty of reasons to be proud of its schools, but one school in particular stands above the rest – not only in Indiana but the entire country. Signature School has been named the No. 1 charter school and the No. 2 high school in America by U.S. News & World Report. Not too shabby for a little school hanging out in downtown Evansville.

And this isn't the first time Signature School has received national attention. The school has consistently ranked among the country's top high schools, including earning the No. 2 overall high school ranking and No. 1 charter high school ranking from U.S. News in previous rankings.

What Makes Signature School Stand Out

Signature School is a tuition-free, public charter high school serving students in grades 9 through 12. Since opening in 2002, the school has built a reputation around challenging academics, college preparation, community service, and a globally focused education.

A Strong Focus on Advanced Academics

When it comes to academics, Signature School offers a lineup of 22 Advanced Placement courses and 22 International Baccalaureate courses, with much of the curriculum taught at the honors level. But the school's success isn't just about test scores and college admissions. Community service is also a major part of the Signature experience, with students expected to give back to their school and community.
