9/8/2022
Most of the students and teachers here are caring and helpful. Many students are excited to be at school, and most are willing to help when it's needed. There are always a few problematic students, though most of them are great. There is only one teacher who is truly impossible to work with, but everyone else is great.

This school is amazing. The staff, the curriculum, the administrators - truly an awesome program and high school.

Although they lack sports and clubs, they are dedicated to ready their students for college. The teachers are extremely helpful and are passionate about teaching the students the material. It's an overall great school. It is a small, close-knit school.

My child has attended this school for 3 years. It’s smaller size has made making friends & knowing teachers much easier than a larger high school. When my child graduates they will have a year+ of transferrable college credit. The school really excels at preparing the kids for college and test prep...

Our daughter has been at ECH for two years. She loves the smaller size of the school, the house competitions and likes all of her teachers. The principle, Dr. Martinez, is highly visible and familiar with the students, as are the staff. She has good friends at this school. The only thing she is not...
