Escuela Campo Alegre had
political strikes against Hugo
Chavez, the president and much
of its 780 students fled, but for
only a period of time.
Families couldn’t afford tuition so
they sent kids to bi-lingual
Venezuelan schools.
Now the school has about 655
students and does not use all of
its campus. It is needless to say it
is a little under-populated.
Differences

tuition fee’s because it is such
a great school, but they
shouldn’t be so high if there is
tuition to go there at all.
• ECA is a nursery-12th grade
school, as ELHS is only 9-12th
grade.
• ECA has a much larger
campus, even though not
many more students.
