This school is outstanding! The teachers and volunteer support is incredible, very hard working staff who truly cares about the kids learning. The school also has alot of after school hour events that the kids enjoy. Parent involvement is encouraged as you cannot expect the teachers to do everything. The teaching shows through with each kid’s progress, our son does incredibly well here.

We love the school. You have your ups and downs but that's anywhere. Good teachers. They helped my child get his test scores up tremendously. My kids are growing here!

I see a review stating they only help white students… that is far from the truth. As long as you aren’t white you will do great in this school. You can bully kids, spit on them and get away with it. This school has went down hill! Never had any issues at my child’s old school, this one gives me a head ache.

The bullying at this school is at an above level. The response from the Assistant Principal "...it's only going to get worse."

EES has everything you could want for your child-- dedicated teachers and staff, involved parents, an active PTA, an amazing group of diverse students, a large team of resource teachers and specialists, tons of enrichment seminars and GT programs, after school activities offered by the Howard County Recs and Parks, and fun day and evening events-- all in one of the best school systems in the country! We are very happy here.

My son attended EES this past fall and we loved it! He was in Ms. Herman's Kindergarden class and we absolutely loved her! We love EES!

My daughter attended from K-5 grade. We couldn't ask for a better school. Everyone is friendly and caring. She received an excellent education here. I was sad to see her leave to attend middle school.

This school is a hidden gem, often overlooked by the rating of 6 (as of 06/2013). The principal is excellent, the teachers are hardworking and good. With school redistricting (due to new school, Ducketts Lane Elementary), the rating of this school should definitely go up.

This school is fabulous. My son was at a private school for kindergarten and entered 1st grade below reading level. By the end of the year he was above reading level. The common core curriculum is outstanding. Each child in his class received what they needed to make the best of their situation. Each subject relates appropriately to a core theme making it interesting and fun. My son's teachers took the time to email me about a concern they had with his behavior (minor and "normal" for the age) but they felt it was out of character. The email was positive, polite, and very encouraging. They met with me after school hours and worked to see what we could do to make it better. I see nothing but great things from this school and am SO happy I moved my son.
