East Oktibbeha County Elementary School is a great school. Principal Covington and his staff take great interest in teaching their students and making sure they learn what they are suppose to learn. They have made sure that the children understand the importance of education and standardize tests. They make learning fun for the children by having fun days at school and the children are motivated to do their best because of the fun days. It is a reward for their hard work and they are deserving of it. As a parent I am very satisfied with the education my daughter has been receiving at East Oktibbeha County School. Mr. Covington and his staff are a great bunch of people.
