Ms. Allie has helped foster a love of reading in my child that makes my heart smile. (I catch her sneaking in chapters of her books at night). Last year we had Ms Julia in kindergarten who was equally as engaging. I can't imagine a more loving and enriching environment for my daughter. We feel so grateful that the small town of Park City has such a progressive and heartfelt learning environment. At her age we wanted our daughter in a school where she was more than just a number. With the small class sizes and low student to teacher ratio they accomplish just that. The enrichment opportunities are many. From drama, to music, spanish, wellness classes and art. Not to mention wonderful after school options. At one point we wanted our daughter to be in one of the local bilingual schools but the spanish teacher at this school is wonderful! Ms K not only teaches them a new language but also includes lessons in mindfulness. Our daughter is able to keep up with her language skills and excel at reading and math which sometimes proves difficult in a bilingual setting. We definitely made the right choice with this school.

School can be a pain; that's expected, and I agree it can be frustrating at times. However, all…read moreschools in America are like this, and we are honestly lucky to have this one, a high-budget school offering creative elective choices. Yes, PE can be unbearable, but it's a common experience across the state. We are fortunate to have activities like skiing, sledding, and snowshoeing in our curriculum. Some more negative news has been discussed about a project where students are expected to read three books from assigned genres. Many have complained that this has negatively affected their interest in reading. I can relate to this, but I must say it is SO important that we explore different genres. Reading three books over two months is not an unreasonable request. I understand that some students may struggle to achieve this goal, but many of my peers have discussed this concern with educators and have been excused from the requirement. It's also important to mention that it's truly not hard; students have options to read graphic novels, which, as I understand it, are quite simple to read three of. I've also seen complaints about the counseling office, but I must remind you that this is a public school, and we genuinely have it better than most. Honestly, I feel a bit petty writing a review about a school, but I'm bored.

As a 6th-grade student at Ecker Hill Middle School, I would like to elucidate some serious issues…read morethis school demonstrates. Bullying is a widespread problem that is not solved in a way that will make the school feel safe to students. A report form is provided for the use of informing the school and counseling office of bullying, though it does not resolve the issue. I, myself, have experienced torment various times and reported it, though it has in no way resolved the issue and has impacted my life with anxiety and a few panic attacks that affect my learning. They don't understand the needs of physically or mentally disabled/injured students. I have a 504 along with ADHD and maybe autism. Though despite this, teachers expect students to be highly responsible for tasks such as turning in permission forms, charging computer every night, etc. lots of children have problems with remembering, even with help. With physical needs, however, they still don't seem to care unless the injury is severe. Students who have minor but painful injuries are still forced into PE. They don't raise awareness on students who are LGBTQ+. The school is NOT homophobic, they are supportive, but as a demigirl, I am offended by the way they use pronouns during Student of the Month. They do not ask any students what they prefer to be referred to as, and instead those with different gender identities do not receive what they wish to be viewed as. HOWEVER, despite the complaints I have, I believe Ecker truly has the potential to be a great school, (which it kind of already is, despite the bullying) but we still need to address these few minor issues, and we're almost there. I still enjoy this school a lot and it truly has amazing educational services that truly help students succeed. Their counseling office is so helpful as well as comfortable and I love the way you can go anytime you want.

Just so you know the tours start at 3:30 once school gets out! It looked like they had guided tours, but we ended up doing the self guided tour. They even give you a little map/souvenir to help you find all the places around the school! Everyone we encountered who worked at the school was so sweet. I bought a HSM shirt at the front office, and I absolutely love it! I got to see everything from the cafeteria to the front of the school to Sharpay's locker to the iconic gym where Troy Bolton sang Getcha head in the game. It was an experience I'll never forget, and it made me want to watch high school musical all over again! You need to come here if you loved HSM and if you're in Utah!
