I have a daughter who just graduated from EMS. East is located in/near the downtown nashville area. This community is peppered w folks from lower to high/upper middle class. I come from a NYC educated background & an ivy league degree. A lot of folks/local/small town transplants are not used to This kind of socialization & allowing children to grow expand & defend themselves.Yes there has been bullying (my daughter experienced it &handled it). Yes there are teachers in the school who are new/veterean who don't have their act together. Yes there are parents who work two jobs or they work 14 hour long jobs but support when they can. Put all this on a campus that holds middle & high school kids add some premature hormones &VaVoom! you get pre-teens acting out trying to find their place in the world. Teachers holding them & their parents accountable &youthful white lies. I was an active participant in Middle School it offered 6th graders a way to grow. She enteres 9th going into all honors as all the kids in this padiea & That is different too.As middle School goes it could be worse but it's not bad or horrible. Teacher says to me: She's got an 81 avg. because she sees ur ok w it...

My daughter is a 7th grader at East, this is her first year here. We were so excited for her to get the opportunity to attend a magnet school. Unfortunately this school has been a disappointment. Academically she is doing the same type of work as all the other public schools, she is very bored. The school has very little parent involvement and the teachers dont seem to be to concerned with what the children are doing or learning. The school is very ghetto, by far more than the school she is zoned for. This will our last year here.

This is NOT a good school! My daughter has been going to East since 5th grade. The middle school was fine but the high school is HORRIBLE! The current principal has let a lot of the older teachers go and has brought it a lot of young teachers who cannot control the classrooms. My daughter has had money, textbooks and other personal items stolen from her locked backpack. She was unable to leave these items in her locker since her assigned locker was on the opposite floor as all of her classes so never had time between classes to even use her locker. We are so tired of the disruptive classroom environment and the thieving ingrates that go there so we are pulling her and homeschooling instead. I would not reccommend this school at all. There are a few core parents who support their children and the school programs but the rest seem to be MIA and don't care at all what their kids do. The only time these parents are seen is when their kids are in trouble and then they refuse to believe that their kids did anything wrong. This school is full of thieves with the entitlement mentality and the leadership does nothing to help prevent this.

Who is really reviewing this school? You have got to be kidding! Every student I've talked to complains of the confusing schedules, tremendous amounts of busy work, and teacher's attitudes. My children withdrew because they were not learning anything in this environment. It is not ok for any child to fail, but E Lit offers no help to succeed. Bullying is daily. These are children not miniature college students.

I am an alumni, and I found this school to be far too liberal as students are constantly forced to show a secular, relativistic tolerance to others. Academically, this school is really no better than any other non-magnet public school in Nashville. The subjects taught are often divorced from one another in thought and students learn information, essentially, to pass standardized tests. Some teachers (e.g. Szklany-Brown) do encourage substantive thinking and learning, and expect it from their students, but this is the exception. You will not learn how to learn, so don't waste your time with East if you want your student to be a life-long learner. The literature emphasis is only in name alone as it was rare that, again, this connection was made and subjects were integrated. Behavior was a definite problem. Look at one of the academic magnets (Hume Fogg or MLK) for better quality.

Great teachers and a great learning environment. I have 2 children enrolled at East and have watched them learn and grow so much. The teachers and faculty care about each student.

Even though the school has had shortcomings, I have seen much needed changes. We all grow and mature when we have the courage to face the challenges and make adjustments. I've seen this happen and East Lit. I am a proud parent of this school. Thanks to all the behind the scene efforts from staff, PTSO, parent volunteers for making it happen.

I love East Literature because the staff loves the children at East and provides them with the best teaching skills and they show each student that they are special and that they care about their future.

My son has been a student at East since the 5th grade. He is now a Freshman at the high school and will be there until graduation. I have seen great growth in my son. He is an athlete with wonderful grades and I attribute great leadership in encouraging the teachers to help the students along the way.

This school is a hidden gem. They really care about the students here and will go out of their way to help. I've had my children at other schools in the city, including the academic magnets and I wouldn't want them any where else but East.

This school is always building and striving on ways it can be better and make learning more engaging for the students. They are topping things this year (the 2010/2011 school year) with the Paideia format. My sophomore LOVES it!

Before it was a magnet school, it was East Nashville Senior High. It is wonderful to see that one of the former premier high schools in Nashville has been given new life.

Students must pass the algebra I, English II, and biology I tests, called the Gateway exams, in order to graduate. This year, Tennessee introduced two new exams in algebra II and English III, and those results are included on the GreatSchools profile as well. The Gateway/EOC exams are standards-based tests that measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Tennessee. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

The different student groups are identified by the Tennessee Department of Education. If there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
