Episcopal Collegiate School

There is a bad problem with cliques and bullying in middle school that admnistration will not address.

My child graduated from Episcopal in 2011. This school is relatively new (just 9 or 10 graduating classes, I think), so you won't be able to find much of a history or college placement track record. However, the school has proven itself as an academically rigorous place with outstanding faculty. My son's class was on the small side (43 students, versus a normal number of 55 or so), but it had three National Merit Finalists, and it had admissions at the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy, Columbia, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, UVa, W&L, Vassar, and Washington University, among others. However, the place is not only for "smart kids." Truth is, Little Rock isn't big enough to sustain a super-selective private high school. So kids who will benefit from a demanding school, even if they're not at "the top of the heap," will do well here. The extra-curricular opportunities are extensive, and the campus is wonderful. Check it out.

I am currently a high school student at Episcopal Collegiate School. This school is WAY too academically challenging. The work level causes me to have 1-2 emotional breakdowns a month. The teaching style is alright, but overall. This school has unrealistic expectations. I would not recommend it.

I have a sixth grade and a second grade student currently attending. While the education is second to none, I am most pleased with the culture of the school. The dedication to support strong core values coupled with the creative approach to academic learning makes this school one of which all can be measured by.

Excellent choice for education in the central Arkansas area. Has been recognized for excellence by many institutes as well. Compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges, and you will see Episcopal is "Heads" above the rest in this area. The motto of "Respect, Reverence and Responsibility" applies to everyone on the campus. They live what they preach.

My child was among the first class to attend the lower school this year. I haven't been thrilled with the teacher (not the best classroom mgmt skills) but love the school overall and think it has the potential to be an amazing center for learning and growth in the years to come. My child has access to art, music, science and religious education as well as big kids who set excellent behavioral examples. The ECS community really does feel like a family.

ECS staff and students are focused on the whole learning experience. From the terrific curriculum, extra curricular activities, chapel service, sense of community and collegiate preparation, ECS is by far the best option in Central Arkansas. ECS could are well prepared for the most competitive schools around our country.
