Ephraim Curtis is generally a very good school, however the school is a bit of a rudderless ship and has not had a truely strong Principal for several years. The teachers need direction and I would like to see this issue corrected this year. There is nobody at the top to discuss issues with.

I just started 7th grade at ECMS. This is my second year there, and although it can be a little overwhelming (3 projects by the 4th day of school) it is a great place. The teachers are usually all great and they are great with the kids. Almost any new kid would easily be able to join in and feel like

If you are thinking of moving here, it would be a great idea to do so. there are lots of extra-curricular/ after school activities to do for almost everyone, including the school play, which is a huge event here. And like the person said before me, it is sort of disappointing that there are no late buses this year. But other than that it is a great school. Read less

ECMS is a great school! The teachers are really nice, fun, and actually make learning fun. The kids are nice, and very helpful to one another. Its great to be treated equally! There are no cliques, and you can get help anywhere! So to the person who said that, well that was 4 years ago; things have

We moved to Sudbury at the beginning of middle school and what a mistake! The cliques at this school were horrendous. My daughter was harassed verbally and physically. It got so bad that my daughter had to drop out of school in the middle of eighth grade and was tutored at home. She then transferred

However, we did not receive any support from the school counselors or the teachers. My daughter, by the way, is going to be a National Merit SemiFinalist. This school made no effort to accomodate academically gifted students. Read less
