Ellington High School is a great public school. The food here sucks but I guess you get what you paid for being around 3 dollars. The teachers are hit-and-miss a lot of teachers are very good at what they do meaning they teach well and care about what they are teaching some teachers are good but are not good at what they are teaching meaning they don't try. I feel pretty safe at Ellington High School. Some of the rules are strange at Ellington High School but I understand why they do that. Overall, I believe that Ellington High School is a great school and will only grow with the population.

I like Ellington High School because it's a small school so everyone knows each other and has a chance to get to know each other. The students and teachers are nice and care about each other. The teachers go out of their way to make your experience better.
