This school is horrible. Principal Julene Mckinnon has used racial slurs infront of other black students and defends only white kids. The Pe teachers are horrible too. This school does not care about your kids wellbeing at all. Theres so much more worse stuff about this school I cant even name them all, its a whole list.

My daughter is going into 7th grade and her first year at EDMS was great! She had EXCELLENT teachers and the Principal and staff were so welcoming and supportive. It's middle school - which is literally the worst - but, overall my daughter made great friends, learned new things, and excelled! There were a couple of issue with other students, but admin was quick to help and make things better. I appreciated the time they took to listen and respond. It has to be hard, and they handled everything very well. We're glad we're at EDMS!

The main problem with this school seems to be the principal. Since his arrival, he has made many significant changes, some of which have been concerning. Unfortunately, he sometimes ignores emails from parents who are seeking help. It is unclear whether he is too busy to respond or simply unwilling to assist.In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, this school was not adequately prepared, and most of the time, children did not learn anything. It was a very challenging time for students and parents alike.Furthermore, I agree with the comment made by Agree Fish about the office staff needing to be more friendly. On a positive note, the teachers are generally very good, although not all of them are equally effective. If you a lucky guy, your child can get very good teacher.
