We have moved to several states and enrolled our son in public and private schools. This is the best experience he has ever had. The teachers are wonderful here. He actually brought his ACT scores up once he attended Elkins. The counselor, the principal and all the staff are great. It is a warm and friendly school.

Good teachers, warm atmosphere, strong administrators, and an excellent library.

Bullying has not been a large issue at this district, at least not on the campuses.

This depends on cooperation from parents, teachers, admin, and the students themselves. The school does provide the framework as set up by the state.

A smaller administration like in Elkins has more opportunity to interact and solve internal problems.

These character traits are encouraged in class and in the extracurricular activities.

No profession has 100% perfection, but teachers in a small school are generally there to help, certainly not for the very moderate salary.

The homework policy is up to individual teachers, not school-wide policy.

I would give this school 0 stars I went to 5 schools and was an elkins student for about 5 years, and elkins made every other school look incredible, at elkins students are picked not taught, if they dont pick you you might as well put your head down in every class because they will fail you any way they can think of even if its not school related, very much bigotry and racism toward individuals at this school.

I am an Elkins High School Alumni and after reading a few of the above comments I just wanted to add that I, as a student, recieved an excellent education from Elkins. Teachers were always willing to spend extra time and effort to help thier students succeed as students as well as people. I was very prepared for college when I graduated Elkins High School and have graduated the U of A with special thanks to EHS teachers who pushed me to be the best I could be. If you are concerned about your child or yourself getting the education you need from Elkins to succeed in college try taking thier AP curriculum courses I found these especially challenging and worthwhile. GO ELKS!!

i think that the elkins school system as a whole is very positive and shound. I dont however think the high school math department is..This is the weakest link! I feel that the high school math teachers do not give their all to make sure these kids understand and prepare them for college. I do think that the atmoshpere of the school and the bond with the kids is very strong.
