I feel like this school is pretty good as I moved over in 10th grade, and have mostly enjoyed my time here. Although some of the teaching is not great, I believe that there is a good culture and mostly reasonable teachers.

I have NEVER loathed a school as much as I do ECMS. Middle School is not the greatest experience regardless of where you go BUT this school was probably featured as one of Blake's many purgatories, definitely one of the ones closest to Hades. The school practices toxic positivity. Bullying seems to be MORE rampant here than even many truancy, inner city Atlanta Public Schools I worked in as a social worker. Many, many, many fights go on at this school. There's vast miscommunication or no communication amongst the administration, staff, parents, and students. I think most of the teachers are good but are stifled by the lack of support and your child will be hard pressed to learn over the highly, undisciplined students that seem to take the classrooms hostage. I am at a loss to find anything I genuinely like about the school besides a few of the teachers.My advice if you have a child that is kind, sensitive, learning focused then you may wish to seek another solution like homeschooling, which I did for my child's 7th grade year and would have continued if I knew ECMS was as horrible as it is, Cobb Online School, consider any of the school choice option schools that offer a space, or the area private schools if you can afford it.

My son is in the first grade and moved from out of state to EastValley. I am so impressed with their programming and class sizes! We have also been to the school many times for various family events including an amazing art show! We are so happy to be sending our child to EastValley!
