EBCA is a fantastic school. My daughter has gone there since Kindergarten. It is the ONLY school in southwest Fresno NOT in Program Improvement, which means the school is meeting or exceeding state standards for educating our youth. They offer music and art classes as part of the curriculm. They are excelling academically. They have a fantastic after school program. The teachers are some of the most caring and dedicated that I have ever met. You can not go wrong choosing this school. Close Quote
