Echo Mountain Intermediate School

hi, i used to be a student at this school during 2017-2022. i've moved back to the philippines, but i wanna share my experience with this school.my family chose this school for me since it was the closest, and when i first came to this school it was alright for me. but as the years come, the school started falling apart. i know me and the other previous students at this school have a different experience, but i am a person of color and i know there are alot of kids that are poc but i've experienced so many racism in this school that it's crazy. during 2021, i told my grandparents that there were kids that were saying racism stuff towards me. my grandparents obviously told the staff, but the staff did almost or literally nothing at all. only the vice principal actually cared.also, most of the kids here are so rude,, even the teachers too. this is just half of the stuff that happened to me at this school, but i'd rather not say them (if it's okay). but please, do not send your child to this school PLEASE. listen to the other reviews especially from the previous students from this school.

We’ve only been at this school for one year (1st grade). My son has major learning difficulties, so, I want to point out that it has a good special education team to better assist those children with learning difficulties. The front office is nice and helpful. However, other staff members are not that friendly. Overall, it is a good school. The academic ratings found on this website really make you wonder why they are so low at this school compared to the rest of the schools in the state. Let’s hope my son has another good year in 2nd second grade!

The amount of fights I have heard about are unbelievable. The fact that this school brushes bullying off like it's some excuse is awful. I seen so many kids get harmed from just attending to this school. Ever since I seen my child go to this school, they have been less engaged and they are now having eating problems because they are too stressed about being perfect just so they could meet the level that the teachers want them to be. They treat them horribly. An another reason why this school is terrible, is that ever since my kid transferred here, they started throwing up almost daily from the lunches here.

I don't think I could ever say enough to convey how wonderful this school and its staff truly are. My son spent about 6 months transitioning from a school the genuinely did not care. He's now thriving and doing so well. All the staff have been a true wonder for me. Their intervention program is truly amazing. They always answer any questions I have and they answer them thoroughly. When his enrollment was in question due to us having to move out of district they helped make sure he could stay. All I have to do is provide transportation. Truly amazing.

This is my 2nd time writing a reciew of MY EXPERIENCE so how it can be deleted is beyond me. But DO NOT SEND YOUR BIPOC kids to this school! They will allow them to be called slurs and then when your kid retaliates (after numerous attempts at intervention), they will label them the aggressor and write them up for verbal abuse and harrassment yet NOTHING has been put in place for the family using the word repeatedly TOWARDS BLACK STUDENTS.
