I loved the student teacher relationships built within the school. Each student found a teacher that impacted them greatly and will forever impact their education. Guidance counselors are slightly difficult to get information about college out of. I would like to see our class rank before graduation in order to put it on college applications.

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.

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.
