5.0 Junior

1/30/2023

I have been at ECA since it opened in 2015. I will be in the first graduating class next year. Class of 2024. It is exciting to see how far ECA has come in 8 years. We have a beautiful building, a great athletics program, and a new gym scheduled to open next month. I am proud to be an ECA Flying Lion!

5.0 Sophomore

1/10/2022

I have been at ECA for three years and I feel so welcome and at home. All of the teachers are so kind and respectful. I have learned so much and I am excited to see how the school will continue to grow.

I strongly advise other parents to look elsewhere—this school is failing its students in every way. Leadership is disorganized, communication is poor, and staff turnover is constant. The administrat...

There were also plenty of extracurriculars, from clubs to sports to theater and musicals. Thankfully, there was also an excellent...

We love this school! We have watched over the past several years as it has grown to a K-12 school, and our child just graduated from high school last spring in the first graduating class. He had a great experience over the years and in high school was able to take honors and AP classes and was in th...
