Elkins is a welcome change. She [daughter] is doing great and making friends and really likes all her teachers. They all so far seem to be great.

My son is at Elkins. He is in the band and has had an good beginning in his first year at the school. He has felt very safe and very well cared for at the school. Academically, he is as challenged as he as ever been. But, this year he had an accident after school on campus. It was his fault (he was on his skateboard in the parking lot.) The school acted quickly in obtaining emergency medical treatment for him, possibly saving his life. I cannot say enough good things about how the situation was handled. The administrators and medical personel were summoned and took care of him until help arrived. The administrators were in constant contact with me the entire time. Everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and genuine care for my child. This is an outstanding school with excellent staff and administration.

My experience as a parent is that it promotes academic rigor, and an environment that communicates 'we're the best at what we do'. If your child is a 'discipline problem', please talk to him/her before enrolling them. Administrators and teachers are very 'by the book' when it comes to discipline and there's not much compassion for personal outside issues (divorce, recent move, etc.) that somehow manage to affect your child at school. Again, this has been my experience. I can say that all of my child's teachers seem to genuinely care about my child excelling academically; they don't cut a lot of slack.

My third child is attending Elkins now, and I feel she has great teachers. They provide tutorials and assistance when needed. Elkins provides a variety of extracurricular activities and I have seen great parent involvement this year. It has new administration and they seem to be working well together. Her sisters are in college now and I feel they were well prepared to be successful in college.

I have been very pleased with this school. Good principals and teachers that truly care about your child. The academic courses are on par with private schools. My only problem is they don't have buses to take the students home from after school activities, debate, band, sports etc. Parents have to pick up their students and sometimes they have kids staying hours after they are finished.

It's okay. If you are a very face-paced learner, I wouldn't recommend this school. There are some great teachers there, though. If you take algebra 2, make sure you get ms.Thompson.

Academic Programs are great. They have lots of extracurricular activities. The parent involvement is kind of low.

It is a pretty good school. Some of the courses are challenging and others are not.

We love Elkins! It has proven to be a very happy, healthy high school experience. My child is getting a wonderful education and being encouraged by his teachers to be the best he can be. The faculty is always willing to help and encourage the kids to take the most challenging courses, while still offering their understanding and help. I am confident that my child will look back on his high school years and remember them fondly.
