We relocated to the Lafayette area from another state approximately 4-5 years ago. We always wanted our children to get the very best opportunities within our residential location. Moving from out of state, we quickly learned that ESA offerred the best overall opportunities for our children. The one thing that we notice where the school really continues to struggle at is the lack of diversity! The diversity within this school is grossly over represented on this website. Overall, this is school has a really good curriculum with many different extracurricular activities for the children.
Highly overrated, most kids there are sent there by grandparents money, socially awkward and get to judge lesser empowered kids through their ridiculous honor code and honor council. Campus is beautiful but classrooms, gymnasium and other facilities are terrible. Kids of parents that teach there have many more privileges than the rest. At one time this was the private school to attend in the area but no more, others out there now with much more to offer!
I have been reading these bad reviews on this website and they are so wrong. Yes ESA is academically strenuous but it is worth it. The reason that ESA has such a difficult curriculum is so that we can be prepared for college. ESA does cost a lot of money but they have financial aid programs. Not to mention that as a student who has been here for all my life I cannot imagine going anywhere else. My parents have talked about public school before and the thought of having to leave ESA brings me to tears. Almost nowhere else can you find a place like ESA. It is not just the academics that bring people here it is the environment. Teachers such as Garret Rosen and Ashley Dugas, Kat Movassaghi and Claire Alvarado. along with countless others. They genuinely care about students' performance and have shaped me into the person that I am today. This is true for countless others. The students here are more equipped for college and the real world.
