Less than humane. Staff requires training in empathy, communication and proper leadership. Serious changes is needed. No, are mandatory for the survival of this school. If parents continue transferring their children out of this school in such great masses and the school continues to lose funding it will eventually close.

I am a current 8th grader at this school. This school shows favoritism towards all the graders besides 8th grade. 8th graders are being exiled from activities while 6th and 7th graders are getting activities we never had like a junior prom on a yacht while they are threatening to make our prom in the gym because we a small 8th grade. This school may have many programs like photography, dance, and chorus but does it really excuse the obvious favoritism. This favoritism has been going on since last year where they already didn’t like us since 6th grade but when the new 6th graders came they started to always do things for them and talk about them and compare us to them saying how we’re not like them while they were just as bad as us some could argue worse. Last month we had our senior week where we dressed up for days like pajama day they gave 7th and 6th graders those days as well because they mentioned it wasn’t fair when if we were to say that while we were in those grades we would just be disregarded and be told we deserve it. I am in student government and not to long ago a 7th grader mentioned how she wants to make more trips for 7th graders and then a 8th grader asked what about 6th and 8th grade and she said that yes to 6th grade but she said 8th graders already had a senior trip. This doesn’t make any sense because that is 1 trip and she was talking about multiple trips and also many 8th graders are upset about our senior trip because it is to six flags a place we already go to during the year for frightfest and we find it unfair that we don’t get to chose the place we want to go to for our senior trip. These are just some of my many complaints of this school that I have over these 3 years I’ve been in it for. Overall this school isn’t necessarily the worst but currently they are showing extreme favoritism and until proven otherwise I say that us 8th graders deserve

I Loveeeeee this school. I never was bad at school I just didn't have the motivation to go, my public school that I was in before I felt they didn't care for me or provide me with much help for me to graduate because it was so many students and they always made an alternative school seem like a bad place to be, so I just stop going. However, when I did need to go to school and had no other choice but to go to an alternative school I didn't have high expectations but let me be the first to say this school helped me so much not only did they give me the motivation to continue school but they gave me so much help personally and educationally, I was able to past all my test with an high score they even teach you about real life skills like taxes, credit etc. Which is a bonus to know they gave me an opportunity to work, in a public school where I wasn't expected to even graduate, I wind up graduating from EBC on time and they make you feel very special, they're always supporting you in anything you need. My only regret was not going sooner to spend more years there. My little sister just graduated from their and she graduated early to.
