GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There seems to be something for everyone at EJCHS in academics and extracurriculars. The teachers care about the students. Many activities to promote school spirit and culture are provided for students and families. I am so thankful my children attend EJCHS.

The clubs, community, and most of the teachers are amazing. They work with you and see you as a person instead of just a student. On the other hand, a couple of teachers were god awful. One honors teacher is notorious for not following IEPs, discriminating against any type of minority, and power tripping (ex. given an F with no makeup for missing class to attend a funeral). He hasn't been fired yet, but hopefully he will be in the bear future.

I liked the friendships that were made due to the size of the school. AP classes were offered and dual enrollment was available. I feel that the AP classes were not taught well enough to ace the test The school needs to work with the colleges more
