Evanston/Skokie School District 65 is a K-8 public education system serving more than 7,000 students from Evanston and a small portion of Skokie, Illinois. Based in Evanston, it operates ten elementary schools, two K-8 magnet schools, and three middle schools, along with facilities for special education and pre-kindergarten programs. The district emphasizes a staff of caring adults and teachers, many holding advanced degrees, and pursues an engaging curriculum supported by instructional technology for a diverse student body and low student-teacher ratios. The administrative offices are housed at the Joseph E. Hill Education Center. It participates in professional associations such as NSBA and IASB and collaborates with groups focused on improving student achievement, while not engaging in direct lobbying. In 2024 the City of Evanston partnered with District 65 on a campaign related to the Portable Battery Stewardship Act, illustrating a local government collaboration on community initiatives.
