OMG, I LOVE, LOVE EPIC. It is positive, it has a lot going on for student, parent, and community. My son is 1st grade and he says he has an EPIC day. I have written the superintendent to advise him that our experience is a 180 from last year at another school. Academically, my son gets As and is pushed!

My son has attended EPIC since kindergarten. He has enjoyed being in each class. He was accepted into the GATE program which has really put EPIC over the top. Thanks to all teachers. I truly believe if you want the best for your child, you have to put forth the effort at each school. EPIC's faculty has shown they really care about their students. My part is to make sure I form a partnership with the teachers to make sure my child achieves each goal. Every time I visit the school, it really shows the parents who support EPIC and those who sat back and complain. Our kids are all our responsibilities and it is up to parents and teachers to work as one with the kids who will determine the future.

I love this school. My child has really learned a lot from his teachers over the years, and he's in fourth grade this year. He has been blessed to have such caring and compassionate teachers. He was nominated for the gifted program in 2006 by his second grade teacher whom is retired now, and was accepted. She really wanted that for him before she retired because she new he was talented and gifted. I have nothing bad to say about EPIC. They have an excellent PTA. I love it.

Epic is great, my son transfered from a Catholic School where they were not meeting his needs. He was an excellent student at his Catholic, but they gave him a 'false sense of success'. When transferred to Epic he needed a tutor in Math and English to catch up to where his classmates were. The Principal has an Open Door Policy, the Teachers are great, the Support Staff are wonderful.

I disagree with the previous review. The PTA and another organization is working on getting the new playgroung equipment. Money has been paid! This particular parent must not be invovled because as you continue to be involved in the school you see those parents that are involved too. I have seen some hard headed children and the teachers can not simply allow those few students to rule their classes. EPIC has great teachers, great parental involvment and will soon have a new playground for recess. As parents, we must contribute and help the teachers make the school the best place for our children. We can not sit back and criticize the efforts of others.

This is my first year at the school and I was surprised at the way the teachers speak o the children. I see parents at the school but I do not get a good since of involvement. The school is without a play yard, art teacher and a comprehensive music program. As I observe other teacher I am not left hopeful about this school.
