A nice small school. If you are looking to be involved in a very close small community, then you might like the school. Like other schools, there is positives and negatives, but if you stay with EMK, you will learn how rewarding of a high school experience you will get compared to others. The building itself and the resources are lacking, but in exchange you are in a very good location in the city, opportunities with programs, scholarships, and academic help.
