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.

The things I really enjoyed about EPJ were the great staff we have here. We have numerous teachers who truly care about each and every student's success, and the hard work they put in for us reflects this. The teachers push us to do better in our academics. We also have coaches that care greatly about us as well. Our facilities are always clean and well maintained, and I feel safe coming to school every day.

EPJ is a great school to express yourself and your own interests. At EPJ I have learned that I can just be myself. I have met many of my best friends at this school. I used to go to Dakota Valley and felt judged in many circumstances, but at EPJ I can just simply be the best me. I have also learned a lot and have become really close with the teachers. At EPJ you are not just a number but a name as well. It is easy to ask for help and plan a time to get work done with the staff. It is a very individual focused school and they really do help any student they know is struggling on a one-to-one basis.

I like the environment of the school. It is a clean, safe environment. The teachers always make sure you understand the subject before moving on. The difficult curriculum will help students succeed in college. I wish there were more classes offered.
