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 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.
