Eppler Junior High School

take your kid somewhere else for middleschool and then take them to utica highschool after, they have a way better principal, mr. lietz.

Terrible. We had to transfer out of the school due to the poor education being provided. Math and science teachers are unqualified. Students in grade 7 English spent a lot of time covering sentence parsing which was already taught (and more effectively) in grade 5 primary school.

Six years with OT and SPL services and not once did they mention Dyslexia or Dysgraphia, just pushed ADHD (which my child does not have). After just two weeks in OT outside the school and my child is writing. The special services at UCS are ineffective and disconnected.

I transferred my daughter to Eppler after she had been bullied at her previous school in another district. She is so much happier now! She has her own issues, but despite those, she has made a small group of true friends and has constant support from her counselor, teachers, and principals. She is getting good grades and a great education. Transferring her was the best decision my husband and I have ever made!
