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 like how involved some of the teachers are and how they care about you. The work they gives is expandable for what your needs are and they give lots of fun interesting ones. Some things I would change would be better clubs or activities for a variety of interests.

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.
