We have a sophomore at EHS who loves it. We're local, so it's a "best of both worlds" situation. They get the independence and self-motivation that boarding school offers, but we get to see most of their games/performances/etc. They can take 4 weekend leaves per semester, but also have a few long weekends/breaks through each semester as well. While it started as a boy's school, it's been co-ed since the early 90s and has a 50/50 ratio. About 1/3 of the students are local, so kids get exposed to a wide range of backgrounds (and not just wealthy kids, either).

Our other child goes to a local independent high school. They looked at EHS and a couple other boarding schools but ultimately chose a day school. They're very different kids and each appear to have found the right fit for their personalities and desire. Different strokes for different folks, even within the same family. We couldn't be happier for how it ended up for both of them.
