C E Ellison High School

Though my post will seem excessively negative, I must begin by saying that Ellison High School has a handful of excellent educators in the Advanced Placement and Dual Credit classes that strive to help students succeed. That being said, Ellison is an overcrowded, elitist school, where the strong succeed and the weak are pushed under the radar. The vast majority of the teachers at EHS are unmotivated and lack passion. They have low standards and are accepting of mediocrity. Though Ellison presents high scores on high stakes testing, it is most likely because the whole year is spent teaching to the test. Students are not encouraged to become life-long learners and value their knowledge, but are taught to regurgitate facts. My experience at Ellison High School was not dismal, but not stellar either. I hope that EHS rises to the challenge of providing an excellent education to ALL of its students.

I have a student at Ellison...she loves it there and I love it. The parents or students that don't like Ellison..Are most likely the ones that aren't involved in anything. The ones you never hear from unless they are calling to complain about a teacher or that their student got in trouble over something.. and surprise their child acts just like them!!.... So they really have no room to talk.

Elison HS is an awesom school It is very diverse . It is a bit crowded but all the high schools in this area are. Parent involvement sill exists here and you should not complain ifyou do not volunteer. The principal is outstanding. I would reccomend it to all over the other 3 highschools

This school is going to the dogs! Overcrowding is the worst problem

Not that great of a school, the faculty is pretty low, and there are only a couple of good teachers.

Ellison High School is not the best school in the district. It is too over-crowded and not the best environment for a student to be in.

I love Ellison. I'm in the band, student council, avid, and the bowling team and it's so much fun. Some teachers are mean but others, and majority, are actually in it for the kids. I am in french 3, ap english/history/calculus and pre - ap pre-cal and I have confidence in the people that teach me. People that talk down about Ellison don't know what they are talking about. It's amazinngg

This year is my first at Ellison and I hope to graduate from Ellison ,its the best school in the district in my opinion I moved from Harker Heights just to attend Ellison I have the best learning advantage ever attending this school and I'm going to take advantage of it, its above average schools so I encourage parents to let the children attend Ellison High School home of the Screaming Eagles Class of 2011
