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.

I think our school physically is very dated. Our school food is awful, so much so I won't eat it. We don't have ac and have to come in even when other schools are closed due to the heat. I think we have a lot of good AP classes available for math, english, and sciences, but more should be available for things such as arts. Also, I believe our schedule could be altered to better benefit students sleep, as science proves it's better to start later in the morning for teens.

I really like this school. I'm glad I have been here for a majority of my life. Every day is a new and positive experience. Every teacher and student is very uplifting and positive. I definitely recommend this school for newcomers.

The education is good. I took mostly AP and Honors classes and I feel well prepared for college. They need to rebuild the high school and add air conditioning though. The school gets really hot in the summer and the heaters break in the winter.

My child excelled at EFHS due to all of the support from staff. Had her choice of top colleges and is performing at a high level as as Jr. in a D-1 college, thanks to EF’s prep. EF offers state of the art technology and resources needed to be successful.
