As the principal of Edward (Duke)Ellington Conservatory of Music and Art, I would rate our school Excellent. For the past 5 years we have met and exceeded the goals on the MEAP Test. The teachers are all committed towards success. Our students understand their purpose for being in school- which is to learn. Our parents are the best. We offer several programs besides the academic such as: vocal music, dance, instrumental, art, foreign languages, etc. We welcome you to apply to our school. Close Quote
