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.

I have had the ability to push myself by taking honors courses and AP courses my full 4 years at EHS. The sports programs and clubs give you many opportunities to be active and make great friends. I enjoyed my 4 years at EHS. The teachers take pride in their work and since our school is so small , they are able to really give you the attention you need. Our administration is always on our side and our Board of Education is very active in our day to day events. They support us at our games and after school activities. The overall environment is a very positive one.

It ok. Its a small school so It could be hard to make friends. The sports teams are mediocre. Some teams are better than others. Most of the teachers are awesome and make class fun. Some teachers suck but overall good teachers. AP and Honors classes are challenging but you can breeze through CP classes. School lunches are TERRIBLE and they are disgusting and cheap. Bring your own lunch.

I thought that my learning there was well enough. I think the academics there really prepared me for college if you really do put the time and effort over there

I had a horrible experience here. The teachers want to feel young and cool, so they pal up with their favorites, shower them with attention, and give them higher grades. i was not one of the "chosen ones" so i didnt do well. Funny thing is they told me I wasn't college material. I ended up going two...

My daughter was bullied. Despite repeated trips in to see the teachers and principal, nothing was done. We ended up pulling her out and enrolling her in private school. She was traumatized by these girls, and I fear will carry the scars with her for a very long time. Funny, I notice another parent w...
