Eastside High School

This school is great, your student can get a good education and succeed. Thestudents have to work at it as with everything, nobody is going to give it to them, alot of the comments seem negative, any time my family has had an issue we spoke with staff or the principal and the issue was taken care of, you have to be actively involved in your childs education.

I am the mother of a student who is one of the top student at this school. My child is also involved in athletics at the varsity level. I have always been a very involved parent. In Middle school I was a member of the school site council for 4 years. However, at Eastside High School ever since the new principal took over two years ago my opportunities for parental involvement have been negatively affected. I have tried to be part of council or committes on several times but my attempts have been ignored or denied. This principal is only chosing the parents that he wants which are usually the same parents from School site council. It is quite obvious that at this high school parents are not treated fairly or professionally either. It is extremely disappointing that the district office supports such as discriminatory acts against parents in a public school. : ( They emphazise that parental involvement is important but in reality that is just not the case, at least not at Eastside High School.

I am a proud parent of an Eastside Lion. She has done great things at this school and has over come her learning disabilities and peer issues. This would not have been possible at the school closest to our house. The staff is wonderful and now we have a brand new campus with state of the art green technology. We might still be under construction but then again so are our kids.

This school is a prodomitaly african american school and full of culture in many ways. It is surrounded by nicely manicured new neighborhoods. The Office staff are polite and extremly helpful. The teaching staff are eager to help the students and the parents stay focus and excel. I was truly impressed on how they coordinate parent and teacher meetings. There is a round table assinged to each student for 30 minuts. All of your students teachers sit at that table at the same time to go over how to better help your student make the grade. I have twins and it made life easier because I did not have to 12 classes to speak with the teacher On the other hand they do not enforce the dress code and I dont think they have an exceptable policy on cell phones and other non educational products in school.

My two children have been going to Eastside High since it started. I like this school. The teachers are great. This year will be so special to the first class of 2009 to graduate from this school. I just can't wait to see the school finish. I only have one problem with the food they serve. I would like to see more healthy meals and snacks. No more soda machines and frozen microwave food. The children need a fruit machine and warm meals.
