As a transfer student, there needed to be more attention paid to transcript and what classes were taken previously vs what was needed to graduate. Once we all got on one accord, things went smoother but you definitely have to be attentive and involved with your child's academic record.

The best part was being able to make all of my friends and the worst part is learning some teachers dont teach and makes it hard for us to pass.

Overall, my experience at John Ehret had been decent. I'm not too involved with the community, but the attempts to make a diverse and supporting community are there. Additionally, there are resources and programs available to help students prepare for the college life, and that is highly beneficial.
