I have had an ok experience. The best part was having engaging teachers in a class where you also had friends. I have enjoyed being in the career firefighting class. My least favorite experiences6 involved french class and a few teachers or administrators that weren't helpful or were disconnected.

I have definitely enjoyed my time while attending Eastside High school. The memories and bond I have created with others who share similar interest and values will forever be one of the greatest things about this school. I will definitely say some of the challenging parts were big state issued tests. However with the help of teachers and study sessions at Eastside, I was allowed to perform my very best and do well. They really set up success for their students.

I walked in too the school on my second day just to get dress coded and was told i couldn’t continue with my day until my mom brought me another pair of jeans, my mom was at work. I’m tired of all this about girls getting dress coded cause boys can’t see females legs.

My son loves Eastside. We moved back to Greenville from TN. We visited several of the area high schools and he picked Eastside to be his top choice. It was the friendliness of the students and comfortable atmosphere that sold him the most. But the size was just right too.
