Environmental Charter High School in Lawndale is great! They are ranked top 10% for performance in the state, 97% of high school graduates get accepted into a 4-year university, ECS received the 2016 Best of Green Schools "K-12 School" award from the U.S., and there is a 1:25 teacher to student ratio. I've been with ECS since middle school. I attended the Environmental Charter Middle School - Inglewood. The staff on both campuses really care about respecting a student and their wellbeing. Parents are always getting involved whether it's Dia De Los Muertos, Earth Day, Harvesting, and many more events. The classes keep the students engaged and are sometimes taught outside. Students can become tour guides for visitors. There are clubs for every student, and if there isn't, you can always make one. We are big on composting and greenery so students are always helping maintain the campus healthy. Environmental Charter High School is a great school for anyone to attend and learn effectively.
Environmental Charter High School is an amazing place to be. There is so much support and kindness at this school. All of the teachers, wether you are their student or not, are friendly with positive smiles and are very easy to contact and communicate with. The office staff is very fun, efficient, and understanding. Last, the clubs are very diverse and encouraging! Cultural clubs especially, teach a ton about different ethnicities, regions, cultures, languages, and religions that make one more knowledgeable. Last but not least, the schools environment is very comforting. From the fresh fruits and veggies all over campus, to the friendly rabbits and chickens that roam within the students, ECHS proves to contain a unique environment that any regular high school would fail to fulfill.
My experience at Environmental Charter High School was amazing. When I first was informed I got picked to be apart of the school through a raffle I was not amused due to the fact that I went to a middle school with hundreds maybe thousands of students and I was going to be entering a college prep school with 500- 700 students. For me, this was a very dramatic change. Throughout the years you start to notice and actually care deeply about your future and what is good for you. At Environmental Charter Highschool, the campus is a very open-minded, accepting, and caring. Due to the fact that there are such little students, the teachers are able to actually take time and get to know the student and help them be successful. They care about our mental health which is why every year they take all students on a three-day field trip to Catalina, Idyllwild, Joshua tree, and Yoshimety. They prepare us for college and makes sure every student gets accepted to a 4-year college.
