Great school. I am an active parent/volunteer at this school. When reading other reviews, I saw the negative one re: bullying. While I am sure there are some problems in every school--any problem brought to the staff of this school is taken serious and investigated. My children love it. I did much
... Read more investigation into the academics and curriculum of all schools in the area--public and private and this school is the best.

This is one of the best schools in NW GA. EC prepared my children well for middle and high school; academics are top-notch and the gifted program is superb. The student body is extremely diverse, since the school draws from some of the wealthiest and poorest areas of Rome, but this can be a strength

While my child was there, Art was dropped in favor of Music, but there was not enough interest to sustain an extracurricular Chorus program.

I make a 30 minute drive to take my children to this school. The parent involvement, academics and teacher professionalism are the highest quality in NW GA. It is very much a 'tight ship'.

My daughters have attended this school for three years and I am so grateful for the opportunity to send them...their experiences with the teachers have been very positive. This school also pulls from the wealthiest and poorest of Rome's neighborhoods...which can sometimes make for a discouraging amount of 'conspicuous consumption' conflict for children whose parents also work full time but cannot afford to keep up with the Jones's.
