The Evaline School District (ESD) began in 1883 and oversees the two-room K-6 Evaline Elementary School. Middle school and high school students attend schools in Winlock. [2] The ESD is the longest, uninterrupted operating school district in the county. [7]
The original schoolhouse was a log cabin, and replaced in 1890 by a one-room school building after it was lost due to damages by a falling tree. Known at first as Brown's School, it was renamed after the town. The school underwent several revisions in the early 20th century, being replaced in 1908 with a two-room building and a four-room addition in 1913. The current schoolhouse was constructed in 1925 after a large fire of the previous structure. The Evaline School is one of the last such schools in the state. [7]
