This school has been through several principles and principal assistance but the behavior is always the same I would not recommend the school at all they are horrible

What could improve Yelp ask? Everything!!!…read more I've worked for this district for over 10 years! Until today!!! I was a very good employee, good reviews and very good with students! At the end of that very toxic one sided work relationship I was denied a formal complaint, un heard, or cared about against a mentally and emotionally abusive teacher (Theresa Bradley) on a daily basis! There isn't an answer, well a logical answer for why she treated me that way but she did! Ive also reported abuse towards students from a IF in her class and got shut down and denied! I I would never and do never suggest or recommend people from applying and will continue to warn any and everyone that will and would ask! They don't care! They don't care about their employees, They don't care about our student! They just don't care about anything other than $! They have some of the most AWESOME teachers, Paras, Admins and campus workers and use and abuse them on a daily! I will miss those people dearly, I will miss those students more! I didn't work for TR for the money (God only knows they don't pay enough!) flipping burgers gets paid more! I simply and whole heartedly worked for this Students! When Ms. K was there they knew someone cared and had their backs! That's the part for me that hurts the most! As a mom I mothered each and every student that came into my life. When your student was with me you knew they were safe and loved! And most of the time very happy! So this is hard, very, very hard! Good bye TR you lost a real one! Sincerely Ms. K forever!!

I will say the amount of opportunities here are amazing and graduating from here is only for the people who keep their head in books the whole time and who are not affected by the environment. The counseling office is so helpful and understanding though and help the students no matter what. Also the nursing program and media class are very helpful and can help with your future other then that .

Ha, I can't believe this is on here…read more Anyways, I am an EC Alumni who graduated in 2007 and was there my entire 4 year highschool career. If you're looking into this highschool for certain classes, they have your standard language classes, with Spanish and French. They took away Latin the year I wanted to take it though which was disappointing. Don't ask me about science classes or math, I hated both and scraped by on minimum credits when it came to these subjects. And English all 4 years was fun but my freshman teacher never liked me because I think she used to compare me to my older rowdier simblings, which was never fair. If you are aspiring in a career in art or music though, EC is the place to really be. You're allowed to take any of the art classes as long as you want, and the teachers are never afraid to let you excel and do what you really want to do. There was even a welding class I always wanted to take but never had time. I mainly took drawing/painting and ceramics while I was there as far as art and it was the best learning experience I've ever had. Anyway, I think Mr. Ratliff is still teaching ceramics and he teaches you everything you need to know and more. I'm taking ceramics in college and I seriously feel bored listening to the professor go on about things I already knew - that's how extensive his teaching goes. EC is also fun for it's guitar class, all kinds of choirs and fairly successful band classes. The only thing I hated was how unnecessarily strict they were when it came to certain things. I came from a MIDDLE SCHOOL of all places that allowed you to dye your hair any color you pleased, EC does not tolerate unnatural hair colors and will put you in Saturday school, which sucks. They were also much more strict with the dress codes. I felt like a child even at 18 for not being able to tdo something as simply dying my hair how I wanted. And if it seems like you're driving fast in the parking lot, they give you a speeding ticket issued by the highway patrol. I have friends who learned this the hard way who weren't even speeding. As far as the students, it was a great experience because EC wasn't one of those stereotypical "clique" schools. Sure I had weird hair, wore a studded belt and a band t-shirt, but I hung out with all kinds of kids who would probably be considered "preps", "jocks" or even "nerds." It also allowed me to make friends beyond the kids I went to middle or elementary school with which is great as well.

The district hires and retains inexperienced, rude, unmotivated, privileged teachers set in their ways, racist staff, and have discriminatory practices. I am a parent of 4 students who attended schools in the district since 2008 and it has only gotten worse. My youngest is at Rio Americano and the culture is toxic and dysfunctional. His counselor Sydnee Butcher needs training and support as an academic guidance counselor. Doesn't surprise me being trained by Elizabeth Irwin. When Sydnee first appeared last year, she was very vocal about change and supporting students. She stated she once was a student there and her experience there allowed her to identify areas of improvement. My experience with her is that is far from the truth. Sydnee doesn't perform any research nor does she fact check. She just blindly regurgitates what Elizabeth feeds her. My son is in a unique position and has aspirations for which he has set goals. While trying to reach those goals, Sydnee and Elizabeth have only worked to hold him back with hard stops. They are not helpful at all. You would think your academic guidance counselor wants students to succeed and instead of delivering hard stops, they will use their discretion (they have levels of discretion) to find ways and create opportunities to support students success. If you are able to get your children into a different district. Please do so. You will not regret it. If you are not able, please listen to your children, the teachers and staff lack integrity.

It deserves commendation that this relatively small school has such committed staff and it was evident from the moment you walked into the ceremony. It was evident in their warm greeting as you entered through the doors, their effort to keep the focus on the kids and their families and to the plenty of security personnel present to keep an eye on things. While not a parent of a student (just an aunt) I was moved to write this review because this small staff has raised a large sum in scholarships to provide to their students. The staff is clearly bonded to the kids and it was touching. This year 8 kids rec'd scholarships including the munchkin I was supporting today. It's quite a phenomenal feat to raise these funds and this act shows genuine commitment to their students. Thank you Charter Choices for your commitment to the children.

My teacher, miss Prescott, is very caring and neat. She helps me with all my school work and let's us drink some hot chocolate or tea in class. She's always very happy and in good spirit but she's extremely smart. The other teachers are always on task and are very rewarding and respectful. The activities I've been doing are keeping me happy and occupied while learning life skills like how to clean, garden, cook and get a job. I have schizophrenia and dissociation disorder so it's hard to talk and interact with my anxiety but the school have been making my confidence go through the roof. I suffered with depression and alot of bad things that kept me locked in my room but after school I'm always excited and happy. Everyday at this school is a good day but be warned because the students are very troubled so you might want to talk to the teachers about that. 1000% would go there
