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 am a Junior here and I do not like the school at all. The cafeteria has pretty average food, the only thing that is good are the nachos, tacos, and the mandarin chicken. The pizza is alright but it still tastes weird.

EA has been a really good home for me for the last 3 years soon to be 4 and my best experience has been the school spirit I'm always around up beat people. The worse part will have to be the switching between buildings but our school is finished now so that's no longer a issue
