By FAR the best elementary school we have ever seen

Great experience with caring teachers and staff

In 2017, the principal and school board decided to move fourth graders to the middle school along with the fifth graders who were moved previously. Although parents strongly disagreed their plan went ahead. The teachers are outstanding at Eastover but others put money and politics above your children's education. Your children deserve better than Eastover!

It's our first year at Eastover-- we have been so impressed by the teachers, administration, initiatives, specials, DHH program, just about everything. And our kids love it too!

Strong leadership and very competent teachers! Nurturing environment and innovative. I'm happy my son had the opportunity to attend this school.

My 3 kids have attended Eastover, 2 of them are still there. We've had a really good experience. Some teachers are good, others are outstanding! All 3 kids have needed extra challenges academically and most of their teachers were more than willing to help keep them challenged. I especially like how the visible thinking initiative helps all students with strategies on how to think outside the box, think out loud, and most importantly be willing to take risks in the classroom. Eastover is a National Blue Ribbon School and consistently wins grants for many programs. I attend most PTO meetings as well as some district meetings and I'm happy to be in a district that continues every year to be innovative, strives for excellence, and is motivated by students' best interests.

In September of 2012, we moved to Bloomfield Hills -- a decision I made specifically because of the exemplary school district. As a result, my son Michael was "the new kid on the block" entering 4th grade. I'm not sure who was more nervous... me or my son! When I contacted the school to schedule a visit prior to the first day of school, I was fortunate enough to speak directly to the Principal. Mrs. Leticia Tappin, who was incredibly empathetic, professional, and most welcoming! In spite of her leg injury, she happily gave us a personal tour of the school and sent an e-mail to other parents encouraging them to invite Michael for a play date with my son. The other parents responded immediately! As a result, Michael met two new friends before he even started school which made his transition to Eastover warm and welcoming. Academically, he is perfectly challenged and surrounded with an inspiring and dedicated group of teachers. The parent community is involved, friendly, and completely supportive of the school. As I tell everyone, I couldn't ask for a better school or environment for my son's 4th grade experience. Eastover Elementary gets five stars from this family!!

Our family has just sustained a flood of challenges, including both my husband and I losing our jobs, losing our home in another district and moving in with extended family to survive until we can get back on our feet financially. Our 6-year-old son entered Eastover with all this baggage and the staff and teachers have been absolutely amazing... caring, dedicated, attentive and encouraging. Mr. Gayta, in particular, is one of the most impressive education professionals I've ever met and we feel tremendously grateful to be in the competent hands of the Eastover Team. A thousand times, Thank You!
