I hate how they don‘t help actual disabled students, like my friend who had POTS and PTSD and me with my nervous breakdowns and neurodivergent disabilities, but will baby a student if they are a bit too disruptive in class. I have self harmed because of this school and instead of doing something about students‘ mental health they upgrade their sports with all the money that should be going into improving the school like the roach and rat problem or supplies for classes that actually matter and then blame other things on why students are depressed. I recommend that you don‘t go to this school if you are disabled or just a regular student, this school should do better, I can‘t wait to get out of their hallways and never look back.

This school is very great for a developing student. The only bad thing is the fights and bullying are out of control. If they were to put more work into this I would give it five stars. The food is healthy for students but there were bugs in the food a few weeks ago. I hope this problem is to be solved.

i like the new cafeteria look, it looks like they stole the tables from Warehouse Barbecue and painted them.

everyone is mean the teachers should not even be able to teach and the entire school is just depressing the walls look like a prison and there are shady things going down i heard some students talking and it is kinda scary what they are talking about as if they where a crime organisation its weird the lunch lady's are nice though and perhaps the best people of the school and the food they make is very good with a lot of healthy options that is the only praise i can give it though

My child is in his 2nd year at EMS and is thriving! He is provided opportunity to be activities after school, he is excelling in his classes and is driven to be a team leader in his classes. He is happy to be a student at EMS!

All the students are rowdy and the teachers aren't very good. The principal claims Evans as "the greatest school in the universe"
