I would like to see training seminars for freshman that instruct them on how to walk in the hallways. I would also love to see more advertising for our safe haven.

5/30/2024

I attended Eastside high school for an hour a day because I also attended Newton College and Career Academy, but for the amount of time I did spend at Eastside it was great. All of the teachers I had were amazing, very understanding and motivating. The new building that we moved to is gorgeous and very well maintained

The teachers generally do not care about the students and the Math department is known county wide for not teaching the students, especially during their freshmen year. Most of the school's...

Grateful that my Eastside student got to participate in an Academic Bowl competition. After 5 rounds they were 8th out of 60 teams. Opportunities abound.
