Phenomenal just outstanding. My child started eastlake her 4th grade year. Prior to Eastlake the assigned school she was attending was considered a PI school and was ranked 2/10. It was very challenging at first when we started attending eastlake. Being that we're pretty much starting from scratch . The teachers the students the staff helped my daughter so much I couldn't thank everyone of them enough .

My son is a special needs students and we are so happy at Eastlake Elementary he has a wonderful teacher, Ms.Lewis thanks to her he now knows his sight words, his numbers, and he is starting to read. Most important of all he feels safe, accepted and loved. The wonderful team: Occupational therapist Ms.Pryor,Speech Therapiest Mrs.Gulley, School Phycologist Mrs. Chelsey Gould and Principal Mr. Banatao make this school a wonderful school for all students. And a great community for the parents.

For an upscale chula vista school it's pretty terrible. my last few years there were horrible, it was like prison, the food was nasty, the super visors were very rude and got you in trouble for any little thing, you weren't allowed to talk during lunch if you did you'd miss your recess and get sent to the office to talk to the principal, the after school activities weren't even fun anymore they're more about making money then making sure the kids have fun! they charge $30 for a wrist band for games that are lame, the carnivals aren't well put together anymore it's like they put together these things on a $10 budget now-a-days, as a former student here I wouldn't suggest sending your kid here, they'll be miserable and will anticipate the day they move to another school or move up into junior high.

I would like to start off by saying!!! East lake Middle music program is wonderful! Mr. Acadamia is amazing!! He taught music to 2 of my children. WOW!!! My son had never picked up an instrument and in 90 days was a fluent in music. My son was moved to advanced band!!! He now can play several instruments. Mr. Acadamia is always encouraging him to try new instruments!!! I would like to say thank you!!! The school really does care!!! It has over 1800 students ,however if you need something they will listen! Your child is important to them!!!! Because they understand how important your child is to you!!!! I highly recommend this school!!!

Eastlake staff is amazing, they work as a team to help the students in all aspects , I like the way they are reinforcing not only the academics but art and most important discipline in always a positive environment. I would like to see an after school math program to support the students with math homework. Proud to be an Eagle mom! PS. They always make volunteers feel important and welcome, and that give us the opportunity as a parents to see whats going on.

This school is awesome! I have a second grader there. It was her first year in a public school and she is very happy. Her teachers are caring and nurturing. They have helped her grow in all areas, but specially in her mastering of the Spanish language, as she is in the dual immersion program. They have plenty of fun extra-curricular activities. I am thankful for the principal, staff and teachers. They have all been great!

My name is Mrs. Rosales and I wanted to start the Eastlake Glee Club at this school, because I noticed Dr. Banatao has provided so many wonderful programs for these kids that were not available a few yrs ago, and I wanted to help when he asked about music. Four yrs. ago we moved from Hawaii and at that time there was no football, soccer, cheer, basketball, chess, art, cooking class and today there s even more. My daughter and nephew also attend this school and I they are happy to go every day. When I say happy.... my daughter shortens my morning coffee so she can be "The Safety Patrol Supervisor" at 7:30 am every morning. She loves math, her 6th grade teacher Mr. Nieves, and now she tells me she wants to be a mathematician. I can't complain she's an A+ Student and this tells me the school is doing it right. What else could a parent ask for, good grades and tons fun programs for children. I can t complain. Well this is our last yr here and I say: Thank you to the principal for adding, offering so much, these last few yrs and making our kids excited about our school everyday. Go Eagles!!

My child started attending Eastlake Elementary three years ago. Since then, I have witnessed countless positive aspects of this school. The API score has increased, there are numerous activities that are available to students, and my child absolutely loves the teachers. Eastlake is a welcoming, family friendly environment and I am glad we decided to enroll our child at this school!

We moved here from Florida when my child was about to enter first grade. She is now in fourth grade and we are so pleased with Eastlake Elementary School. While education of course is a priority it is also a fun loving and friendly environment. The principal is terrific in that he has established numerous after school programs and athletic teams that were virtually non-existent prior to his reign. Unique programs such as Animation, Robotics, and Chess make it a stand out school for kids who want more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. In addition, the school also has a strong dual language program for kids to learn in both English and Spanish speaking classrooms to foster a bilingual education.

The school is AMAZING!!!!! DR.BANATAO MRS PALMA MRS PEREZ MRS COPELAND MRS BAEZA MR MARCUS MRS DURAN-HODGES ALL staff from the administration to support staff librarian,cafeteria to IT dept to janitorial to parent volunteers. Everyone there is SO NICE and AMAZING! CALIFORNIA DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL I BELIEVE IT ! My son scored advanced in overall state test. That is a testimony of the school. There are so many afterschool activities other schools don't have. The assemblies are amazing and full of Eagle Spirit. I recommend Eastlake Elementary school for the few schools in chula vista with dual immersion. My daughter is an excellent example reciting the pledge of allegiance entirely in Espanol! So impressed! I would give 10 stars

We recently moved from a different school district in which my child was attending a woderful charter school. I could tell the difference since the first day I visited the school we were assigned to due to overcrowding of the school near our home. The experience has been very dissapointing for my child since the begining. My child was assigned to a combo class and to a mediocre teacher who sits all day in the computer and has never thaught a lecture. She has assigned her class the same homework over and over again. In a one month period she has been absent at least six times. She forgot to pass out permission slips for the end of the year field trip and none of her students got to go, so she got her class a substitute so she could go with the other classes. So unprofessional, it is a waste of salary!!
