This school do not even the classes out properly, putting one to only two black kids per Class¡ we are trying out the ees but the middle school I definitely don't care for, my son was treated horrible there and I took him out to homeschool him until he reached high-school. They only cater to certain ones while trying to put bad labels on others.

(I wrote the same for the middle school as I have two in each school and we have had similar issues with both) I agree with some of the older comment about how they just want to keep students and parents in line. They have a tendency to find the little things a big deal when they should be more worried about education. They are overly strict on the uniform policy and like to threaten parents and students. They have a no tolerance bulling policy but apparently it doesn't apply to administration! I am tired of being threaten by a PUBLIC SCHOOL with suspensions on topics that have nothing to do with my child misbehaving, dressing inappropriately, or in subornation. My children have never had problems at the private school they went to and have always made good grade and have behaved themselves. This school really needs to look at there children who have behavior or learning problems and stop bulling parent and students because they are not conforming to becoming perfect unified soldiers.

My child loves the school and the teachers. The teachers really care about the students and their education!!

My child has improved academicly since attending this school which means the world to me. What is so sad, is that the office staff is terrible! They play favoritism when I comes to the parents. Ive experienced first hand the bitter treatment after them being happy an all smiles with another parent. My child even tells me they dont like him/her. Makes me think if its a racial issue. Id hate to think that way, but their behavior really is horrible. Whats the point of making a formal complaint when itll get covered up anyways. Maybe this review will help.

I have had two children in this school, one is in middle school now, the other is being homeschooled. I used to think the best of this school, however, the last few years have made me really open my eyes to the incompetence of the staff. I have been requesting since November to have our child evaluated for a 504 plan. This is March, and it has still not been done. He is now being homeschooled as I refuse to listen to complete negativity when it comes to my child. Pick one thing, ONE thing positive out of his day.. anything and let him be proud of that. When you break a child down it takes moving mountains to build them back up. A child that makes him/herself physically sick to keep from going to school at 7 years old is screaming for help to be taken out of the system. We listened to our child and knew that homeschooling was the way to go. We have been researching for 2 years now about it. When this began happening and no other solutions were offered, no contact, no help, no concern... it was time. EES gave up on my child. I will never.... Shame on you!
