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.

Explore Knowledge was the school that I went to from 3rd to 10th grade. The idea behind the school to focus on project based learning was great when applied correctly. Many teachers influenced the way I think about the world to this day and really made me the person I am today.

I went to EKA for 6 years and it was amazing. It gave me the opportunity to explore things I was passionate about and become comfortable speaking in front of people. I was given opportunities I would have never recieved at a normal high school and I became part of a big family.

I have had students enrolled at EKA since 2007 and have been very pleased with the caring and innovative way the teachers have helped my students excel. Not only do they genuinely care, they go out of there way to help my child be the best they can be. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

Those who do not like the school are generally clueless as to it's methods. Also, yes the school is in a state of flux or change, but it is to only better the curriculum. I can say this since we have been with this school since it opened over 10 years ago. My daughter went from not liking to learn t...
