Being a Senior at EHS i believe it is a great school because of its teachers. Yes every EHS student has one they dont like, but in general they are all great. The community is small, and thrieving.

EHS has been my school for 3 years so far, and as a Senior, to say that Escalon is lacking in leadership and the ability to educate is ridiculous. The staff at this school are highly educated and passionate about what they do. They provide creative ways to teach different standards and do not discriminate

The one thing EHS has that shows how involved students are, is the amount of Spirit! This school thrives on Spirit and unification. The school has been dropping in STAR testing scores recently, but due to the high school's dedicated leadership they inspired other students to do better on their scores. EHS has been a great school for 3 years and i wouldn't go anywhere else. Read less

As a parent and former student, I have to dissagree with the prior ratings. While some people may believe our students are being giving a great education I believe they are being short changed by not only the distrct and its lack of leadership, but the town itself. The town is so overly concerned about

Because we have no substancial growth in our town we have no funding for new schools or ammenities the children need to succeed. Our scores on our testing prove that. Until the town relizes that they have to grow to be able to pay and keep up in the world of higher education, our kids will fall further behind. Read less

I went to school there and I really, really enjoyed it. The small town atmosphere was safe and, although boring, required that I use my imagination to come up with creative things to do. The education was good when I went, but most of those teachers left for various pursuits. I always thought I got
... Read more a really good education when I attended EHS, but coming to college I have realized that Escalon missed out on a lot, but it is understandable since it is a small school in a small district in a small town. Part of its charm was this feature, but it also held it back in some ways. I would strongly encourage parents to become more involved and support the school, because while EHS may not be as good as larger schools, it has definite potential to be one (seeing as EHS got me to UC Davis) Read less
