GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

What I liked about Eastwood Academy is that they really care about a student's future and work hard to get their students to reach their goals. They let students have fun with projects and push them to think outside of the box and create wonderful work. Also, they give you all the necessary information to help you graduate on time and with good grades. They are a school that will help you pick yourself up if you aren't doing too good in grades, they won't give up on you. Even if it is a competitive school you learn to adapt.

Eastwood Is not a bad school but personal over all experience was weird especially since Iv gotten bullied many times and no one has confronted me about it I also went through a traumatic experience in whi he they know the offender and hasn't given him any punishment, i am over it so I don't mind but it's not really bad if you work hard or want to go to college, if you don't have a desire to go to college you won't really fit in since many students do and that is the focus

Eastwood Academy is a great high school to attend. I highly recommend it to any upcoming or current high school student. The environment of my school is very calm and welcoming. It is very manageable to have time for both hanging out with your friends and getting good grades!

I'm in my second last year of school and it is getting gradually more difficult as my GCSE's approach but I think that's the same for about every school. Overall, I'm pretty happy and think...

Great school! The teachers and staff are amazing. I wish I could give it 5 stars but the principal is horrible. She doesn't care for the students nor the teachers. If it wasn't for the enthusiasm of the clerks and teachers this school would have gone down.

Eastwood has never been perfect, as no school ever is, but it is such a shame that the quality and standards of the school have diminished. There are still a number of great teachers, both old and new, but there are a number of teachers who don't even deserve the title. The current principal Ms. Fen...
