Great School district. My child has been attending since Kindergarden and I love it!

I have to agree with most parents who have given reviews. I signed up to volunteer for anything and everything at this school, but yet I have not received one phone call to help. This is our second year in this district and it certainly seems that if you are not in the so called "IN CROWD" you are not invited to participate, but yet this district claims that parents need to take active roles in the schools.. I joined the PTA and have yet to hear from them as well. AS far as the testing.. it is ridiculous and the no talking at lunch is absurd. I am very disappointed.

This is not a great school. The communication between the parents and teachers is lacking. They don't have regularly scheduled parent-teacher conferences, you only hear about issues when your child comes home with a demerit. They don't allow the children to talk at lunch, after only a 10 minute recess. The arts/music program is lacking. Surprising for what was heralded as one of the better districts in the state. There aren't many opportunities for parents to get involved, unless you're "in". Our kid is an average student and this year she's become very discouraged about school and her abilities. Her teachers are snappy and don't use the "positive discipline" method, which is a change for her. This is an average school, we'll be switching to a private school for next year.

EASTSIDE is average, I suppose. However, MY children deserve and require better. Well below acceptable are Math and Language instruction, overall school management (bad Principal) and the school system's singular focus on scoring high on standardized testing.

I have to disagree with the sentiment that this is one of the best schools. Healthy children mean healthy minds and bodies. Taking away recess is asking for unattentive, disruptive children. The children are not allowed to even talk at lunch. The demerit system is a failure, and teachers lack the inability to communicate with parents except by demerit notes that are brought home by children. I have heard many parents say that they have not had a good experience with Eastside Elementary.
