El Paso Country Day School

My children attend the lower school and have just completed their first year at EPCDS. Their teachers are excellent, engaged, caring, and intelligent. The staff is friendly. I don't know about the cafeteria since I pack lunches, but it is clean each time I visit. The principal/founder is experienced, has a track record of success, and is deeply involved in all activities of the lower school. She may be a bit terse or hard-edged, but I see many strong-minded individuals as being so, driven and focused on the learning process and less about making friends. The results showed externally as well, in the scores my children achieved in national testing.

This is a great school, all of the teachers have a wonderful attitude and my daughter is thriving. The philosophy of the school allows for her to learn hands on and she loves it. All of the teachers know all of the students, the administration genuinely cares, and the students all have great diversity leading the school to be well rounded and representative. I could not be happier. I recommend this school to any one.

This school is completely unsatisfactory. The teachers do not do there jobs very well. The cafeteria food is served sloppily .Unless you wan't to pay alot of money for nothing or your kids don't want to learn don't go there. A former student

Several great teachers have left the school including the new principal (she was a fantastic teacher and administrator). It is not the same environment as last year...in fact, the school has been disappointing this year.

this is our third year at the great school. the first two years were wonderful. but i have to say, this third year is better than ever. they have a new principal who is amazing. the parents in the three year old room keep telling me how much they love the teacher because the children are learning to read. and the children also learn respect and how to get along with others through the tribes frame work.

This is my daughter's first year at EPCDS, but it became obvious very early that we made the right descison in putting her here. (we also looked at St Clements and Radford). The teachers, principal & staff are all fantastic, and my diaghter comes home everyday exicted about what she has learned and eager to return the next day. We are very pleased with EPCDS

My children went to this school and all were very well prepared for their respective competitive colleges. They had the unusual high school experience of feeling well conected to their friends and valued by their community. I cannot say enough good things about EPCDS

My three children all went to EPCDS through High School. They all had a wonderful education with exceptional results in college. They all credit their success to EPCDS. If you live in El Paso you are very lucky. Nothing even compares to this school

My son has attended El Paso Country Day School since first grade. He is now entering seventh grade. He has blossomed and excelled. The small class size ensures that each student receives individualized attention. Weaknesses are quickly addressed. Our teachers are the very best and are at El Paso Country Day School because they love to teach.Academics come first, but art, music, Latin and Spanish are offered. Parental involvement is encouraged and what better way to make a difference in your child's education? I would highly recommend this school.
