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.

Overall, ECHS is a good school for determined students who want to push forward and look ahead. Some years the teacher might not be the best, but overall all the teacher will do what they can to push students forward.

The best part of ECHS at Midland College is the teachers/professors and the worst would probably be administration (at times). The teachers/professors are always willing to help and guide you to success. Administration can be frustrating at times in their handling of situations and standards.

As a senior at ECHS I have not enjoyed every bit. There has been good and bad, however, I believe it has prepared me into being a greater and more readiness person. I have learned, failed, and tried throughout the years. The worst part is the lack of involvement and how everything is revolved around academic and they need to add more activities to help us feel like a high school. Overall, I am thankful for how this school provided so much help and gave me a strong mindset.

The September 18th comment is absolutely right. Being a student here, I DO NOT complain about the work like the previous ignorant student wrote. I complain about the system and its staff. My class above all has been discriminated against for reasons unbeknownst to me. The principal will openly humil...

I go here and it's amazing. Yeah it can be stressful and boring but it's worth it in the end. The teachers actually teach and are always willing to help. The only people I've heard complain were students who didn't want to put in the effort. This is not a school for the lazy.
