My experience at Epic is going amazing so far I wished if there was less bullying but the staff really help you if there is a problem

3/31/2023

It's a very small school, kinda reminds me of my elementary school. Long distance from home. And for some reason not a lot of colleges have heard of the school. But they edge the students to go to college even if they want to or not.

For all four years of high school, I have attended EPIC Academy Charter. This institution has had several issues over the years.
