Good and friendly but also professional teachers. Give overall good advice but also make teaching fun. I would like them to change there uniform policy. The only "worst" part was the uniform policy

Going to EBC High school was an amazing experience. I met teachers from different ethnicities. The educational environment was really good. The students were focused on learning. Overall, it's an amazing school and I would recommend it to anybody looking for a great education.

When I got my acceptance letter in middle school saying I would be going to "Admitted To Ebc High School For Public Service" I got excited because I would get the know how it feels to be in high school. From seeing the movie High Musical I believed that it would be exactly like that but I just remembered Im not in a luxury high school. In September of 2016 I would be my first day of school where I learned from a open house to the school that they are very strict about the dress code that we needed to wear everyday. I remember going with my Jordans and some how I was able to pass through staff such as the Dean Tev. I think from my perspective this is one that one thing should change because its probably some of the reasons students end up transferring. Regardless overall the school is a decent school for those that stayed focused on what they have to do. There are college classes given to gain college credits and lots of resources from school counselors.
