I am surprised at the rating. This school is much higher than listed. Teachers care, the principal is wonderful and invovlved with all programs. A lot of wend of year awards to students for academics and personal acomplishments too. My child came to this school from a private school and has excelled greatly and is complemented to encourage her.

East Fannin does not encourage parent participation nor do they attempt to keep up with the other schools in the county. This school is in dire need of change in order to meet educational goals

Needs work on including parents, better communication. Still does a fairly decent job in meeting childrens needs. Parents must stay in touch
