Elizabethtown High School

Etown is an excellent school. Whoever said that there kid was treated differently in sports and doesn't play because they are an "outsider" is SO FUNNY! I went to school at Etown and there were several "outsiders" that played sports. Etown has an excellent sports program. Maybe your kid just isn't very good in sports ( A Scrub). If you can't run with the big dogs, keep your kid on the porch. Go Panthers!

Unfortunately, if you are not from Elizabethtown, but move here during middle school or high school, you are an outsider and treated very differently in the classrooms and on the athletic fields. In athletics, outsiders have a tough time getting playing time. They may make the team, but tend to ride the bench regardless of talent. It is much the same way in the classroom. Students are sacrificed in favor of rules, regulations, and standards. At Elizabethtown High School, it's all about traditions and not much about students. Very unfortunate. EHS has the potential to be a great school, but it is currently very far from being in that category.

I attend EHS and I believe that it is a great school. Sure, the dress code is strict. That part isn't always fun. But the teachers and staff are preparing us for future jobs where we will have to be able to look appropriate. Sports are taken seriously but the staff always considers that you are a student before an athlete. I am a sports player and I have seen this played out in my school. I'm proud to go to Etown and would gladly send my kids here in the future.

I attended this school from 91-94 and had a great time. I was a child that required alot of maintenance, but the teachers never gave up. Now I have the honor of allowing my children to attend this school system and it is GREAT!

This schol has its priorities seriously out of order. Dress code is more important than education. More ' popular' students are given more advantages than others.School is cancelled for sports activities.

I am a student that moved to this school a year ago. This is a school that has some seriously wrong problems. The teachers don't help all of the students with equal support. Teachers only try to help student with straight A's, the students who need the real help are ignored and forgotten. The dress code at the school is much to strict. The children are spoiled and stuck up.

I graduated from EHS in 2003, and I am very thankful that I had the privilege to go there. The education, experiences, and school spirit at EHS were the best in the state. I hope that when I have kids, they will be able to attend a school like EHS.

Elizabethtown Independent Schools is an excellent school system. Academics is always a priority with the schools consistently ranking top in the state. Great programs available for advanced classes, AP classes, independent study, virtual high school classes, community college classes (at ECC)- a wide variety of options to meet individual needs. Schools also provide various sports, music, art and extracurricular activity options including beginning new activities/service projects, etc. Excellent school district to be in.

Elizabethtown High School truly is a school of excellence. Despite being a small independent high school with an enrollment under 1000, they repeatedly score in the top 10% of the state on standardized tests. College professors say they recognize these students by their work! Music, art and sports are all available. As well as strong extracurricular activities. Parent involvement is just amazing!!!
