Easterbrook Discovery School

EDS is a great school with an excellent principal and assistant principal, dedicated teachers, and a philosophy of education that is hard to find these days. The school teaches to the whole child and values art, music, PE, and field trips. The school works hard to build a sense of community and hosts many educational and fun family events throughout the year. The thing that I most like about the program is the parent participation in the classroom. Many studies have found that this allows for better differential learning and alleviates pressures that our schools are faced with in the light of budget cuts and increased class sizes. In addition, I get to see how my child is performing in school and address things before they become a problem. I also get to know the other kids and teachers in the school in a way that would be impossible if I weren't involved in that way. My only complaint would be that more parents aren't involved because participation isn't mandatory.

Please send your student to this school if you are looking for an elementary school or a middle school for your child. I'm an 8th grader and I have been going to this school for 8 years. I started going here from kindergarten and progressed up onto the 7th grade, by the way, this is a joint middle and elementary school. in 8th grade, i moved to fremont not by choice, but well, my family couldnt afford a cheap place here. Fremont schools are horrible. I have attended Thornton Junior High for 2 weeks now and I hate it. It lacks teacher support, and all the staff are there for the job, not to help the students. Easterbrook Discovery School is the right school for your child. I repeat, it is the right school for your child. Do not even think about sending your middle school child to Thornton. Don't move there. Easterbrook Discovery School has the support, caring teachers and staff, that Thornton does not. I love everyone there. The kids and staff were all friendly to me while i was there for my 8 years. it would have been 9 if i hadn't moved. i still hope i can move back before i move on to high school. Easterbrook Discovery For Life! BELIEVE IT! I loved it here, I'm sure you will.

My daughter is in the 4th grade and absolutely loves this school. I couldn't ask for any better! She is thriving and happy and the variety they offer the kids is unsurpassed. Great School!

Great school all around. Very involved teachers, staff, students and parents. The fact that is a K through 8 is great too - it all works seemlessly.

My son goes to kindergarten. This school is really special, with the mix of K-1 and 2-3, so older kids can help younger kids. The parent participation makes it a very nice place to be where my wife and I feel really involved in the community. We influence the formal education of our son and his peers directly, with in class reading, the cooking program, getting to see that this is a place where teachers and parents care.

Extremely happy with the great projects that kids at all grades get to do, focus on teaching real life skills and emphasis on positive behavior. All the teachers are awesome and are very accessible to parents and love the parent participation aspect of the school.
