The classes are well-taught for the most part. However, due to a small amount of teachers, class sizes are usually 20+ students. It is pretty safe, and most students get along with each other. I enjoyed my time at EPJ, but it is a little too small for me. If you like a small small school in a small town, then Elk Point-Jefferson is the perfect school for you.

I enjoyed my time at Elk Point Jefferson. I think the size of the school was amazing in the sense of getting to know a lot of new people. I think Elk Point was a perfect place for me to learn and grow.
