The high school could be rated as 'good' to 'very good', in my opinion. Like a previous reviewer, I am pleased by the music and drama offerings of the school, but I disagree with his/her comments about the sports programs.

Read more a state championship (Way to go, kids!), the other sports teams are good for teaching our kids things like good sportsmanship, teamwork, etc. We need all the positive activities we can have to help kids develop. My child's experience with the academics has been mixed: she's had some very good teachers and some who are so-so. I wouldn't say any of them were awful. Parent involvement seems limited by the school administrators. The only thing they seem to want parents to be involved in is fundraising. All in all, EHS gets a B in my book. Read less

Ewing High School isn't as bad as every one says it is. There isn't as much violence as I expected. As a freshman, I was happy that we have such a good music program. The drama department is nice as well. However, I've found there is too much focus on sports at this school, which is odd see as our

They ignore complaints that you have (there's only one unlocked bathroom in the entire school at one time, not fun) and think every child is bad because some are. The parents need to be more involved as well, though I'll blame the office for having almost no school to parent communication. Read less

I think that this school needs to worry a little bit more about the students.
