School Reviews

I love ERCS; the teachers are kind and caring, and the students are overall respectful. Just like any school, it may have its troubles at times, but the teachers and administration will talk families through solutions. I love that my child wants to learn more about God, and that is thanks to ERCS. Their weekly chapels help my child appreciate church more and desire to go. I know my child is safe there and feel confident in the staff.
