One of the best parts about going to school in Estill County would be all the help you get for college. So many people help you apply for scholarships and find colleges especially help you choose a career if you haven't decided yet. The worst thing about the school would be bullying. It isn't an work issue although someone is always distracting students by picking on someone else. It seems as if nothing is changing about this problem.

Estill County High School has a beautiful campus. If you were to walk through the hallways you would see the facility constantly working to keep the school clean. The staff handles pressured situations like pros, they never seem to fail making school a safe place for all students. The food is decent. They always have three options at lunch to make sure no student goes without. Overall Estill County High School is an excellent place to attend school as a high school student.

Overall I have been impressed with my education at Estill County High School. I have had positive experiences, amazing teachers and room to grow during my formative years of high school. I only wish that there was a class for us as underclassmen showing us how to complete scholarship applications, essays for scholarships and applications to colleges etc.
