This is the absolute worst experience with a school I've ever had. I have another son that went through school in Cherokee County and there were no issues like I've had here. I have a first grader at the school and we are literally doing everything we can to move back to Cherokee County just to get him out of the school district. Just one example: I have called his teacher 6 times and she refuses to call me back. My son will probably wind up failing the first grade and I blame a big chunk of that on how terrible the school is.

This will be our 2nd consecutive year with a child at EPS & we couldn't be happier! The faculty & staff have always gone above and beyond to ensure my children's education & well-being. The principal & assistant principal are every parent's dream-kind, compassionate & firm in their beliefs. I've yet to meet an unfriendly teacher & the front office staff is hands-down awesome! My husband & I feel very fortunate to have such a nurturing environment to help aid & enrich our children's lives.

This is a wonderful and caring school! All the teachers are friendly and helpful, and care about the students and one another. The school follows research based practices and uses the best methods for teaching. The students learn while having fun.

I love this school because the teachers work very hard to meet the needs of our diverse population. We are a rural school with a large Hispanic population. Our children usually only speak their dialect and are illiterate in both English and Spanish. What a difference these teachers make with these children. They not only meet their educational needs but make the community aware of other needs. We had a small child die of cancer; she died a princess because that is what she wanted to be and this school made it happen. The family was allowed to be with her and their bills were taken care of. I could mention many more incidents but I hope you get the picture. This is a great group of people nurturing the children of our community
