To have every preK-first grader in one school building is a horrendous idea. This school has too many children per teachers, it is not individualized. My daughter brings home incomplete papers and writes the J in her name backwards and the teachers don't even realize or they must not care. How could you not know what your student is doing. It isn't about teaching the children it is about forcing the children to memorize information to pass tests. That isn't learning. I'll have my daughter writing her J correctly and then she goes back to school and writes it wrong. These children are like cattle to them not kids. How can you expect a 4 year old to make it to her classroom on time after breakfast when she has to walk to it unsupervised in a humongous school with many hallways, classrooms, children and distractions. A friend of mine's child escaped from that school 2x with the last time the child walked all the way across the road and down the block!! How does this school not notice a missing child??? As soon as I can I'm taking my child out of ECC.

Homework: This section varies, most of the time if you actually work in class you can finish it, or if you have a throwaway hour.Teachers: The teaching also varies, some teachers are the best I've had in my life, some the worst I've had in my life.Leadership: The coaches and teachers try to give good leadership, but most of the time it doesn't work.Character: The good teachers and coaches will direct you to the right path and help you along the way, they also offer guidance, you just have to ask.Learning differences: AverageBullying: I've never been bullied here and don't really see a lot of kids getting bullied here. But if they do catch a bully they are dealt with quickly by being suspended.
