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.

My experience at this school has been both fun and challenging. I enjoy being around so many students because it creates a lively and social environment. However, it can also be chaotic, and sometimes there aren't enough resources or support for everyone. I'd like to see better and stronger education, and stricter guidelines to help students stay focused and respectful

My experience at my high school has been a roller coaster. Four years of being here has been good and bad. There have been moments where I loved it and had fun and there have been moments where my life was at risk. Everyday is unexpected but that life. I just wish schools in America were more safer for kids to not have to always be on edge about our safety. I hope one day it will.

It's been alright. They've gotten really strict and not in great ways if they think they're helping us not be distracted they're making it worse.

I went here! The staff did a great job at helping the students think about their futures in a way that was realistic. I myself am going through medical school and am really grateful that I went here. I will be sending my children to ECISD.

This is by far one of the worst places to work and to send your students in order to be successful. Doing the homework on this school and district, we can determine that is is not up to par. In the standards of education, employee support, and student outcome. I would rate this school less than a on...
