I have one child at EPMS and one going into EPHS. I think EPMS is a great school. We definitely need more parent involvement. I think the teachers are the best that I have seen in the county besides McGarity. Keep up the good work teachers and staff.

Overall a very possitive experience with this school. We will have another child attending EPMS next year and one moving on to EPHS. We have been very impressed with the way the school reaches out to parents, however only about 10% of the parents ever participate and it's always the same ones.
