The best parts about this school is the teachers, they care for the student body and want the best for them. The worst part is the kids and the constant want to do drugs.

The El Paso-Gridley High School is a little bit above average (not too much) and the education is acceptable. I wish the school overall as a campus felt safer.

Each and every teacher cared about your well being! There are so many options to take for classes and electives. There are a variety of AP classes and Dual Credit classes through Heartland Community College. There are also a bunch of clubs and sports students can be involved in too.

Unless your child has the proper last name, do no let them go to this school. Bullying is rampant, and despite their “dedication to bullying prevention”, nothing is ever done.

Parent of two current EPG students. EPG was a great choice for our family. This district cares about students and their families. The district is definitely on a trajectory of excellence both in the classroom and in raising good citizens.

As a parent who transferred children here, I can compare EPG to another school. There is no comparison in the dedication of many of the teachers here. Ms. Throneburg does a great job leading the school. I am satisfied with our choice to move here from a larger town.
