Best school in Bullitt co. Morales, ethics, integrity. This school has it all, from it's amazing core values to it's caring teachers. It's a school not trying to fit any mold, only trying to mold students into becoming better future adults. This school could easily be a private school, as the education and value for learning would be charged anywhere else. Yet this school has somehow managed impeccably to remain a public school. I would move to the district, and recommend it, solely so your children can have the best of the best.

Top location, top education, top school in Bullitt co.No child left behind is still a thing here.They wear uniforms, which cuts down on bullying, and presents the students with a clean proper ready to learn look.They have a travel club that allows the students to go to other countries.They offer courses to help with highschool credits.Teachers are always available with an open door policy; they're fun while also down to earth.The principal is kind, fun, and supportive.The sports and extracurricular activities are always ranked high nationally and get to go to world.And Eastside Christian church also has service at the school on Sundays.If you can get in the schools district, you will not be disappointed.

It's been a good school for my kids. They have maintained high grades and seem to have a healthy social life. I wish more focus was put on including kids in sports. Like A, B, C teams. That way all kids get to play and not just the good ones. It is middle school afterall.

For being rated an 8, I expected a lot better from this school system. Sadly they are no better than the school system we left that was a 1 on the same website. Not sure why this one is rated so high when it shouldn't be.

I chose this school based on the ratings. This was a big mistake. This school started suspending my child early in the process petty infractions 12 year olds do and it snowballed into all kinds of problems and eventually a discrimination complaint to the OCR for the school. They will target your child if he doesn't conform or has any type of disability they do not want to deal with. No active PTA, no playground and very few activities and not very active in the community from what I see. You have staff covering for other staff. There are some serious problems in this school that are going ignored most likely because they are using test scores as an only measurement. They were successful pushing my child out and ruining his drive for education. He had all A's at his previous school. Of course, they take no responsibility. I notified the school board with no return call. Think twice about this school.

Very pleased with the school overall. The teachers seem to be very interactive with the students and my daughter enjoys going to school and learning. Test scores this year were to my understanding the best in Bullitt County and better than the middle schools in Oldham County. I hope to experience the same kind level of leadership and teaching from the Bullet East next year.

This school is wonderful. Teachers, staff, & coaches are strict and expect excellence and the kids deliver. They have encouraging banners with the kids' pictures / names on them for sports, activities, and academic achievements. Band, archery, and cheerleading are all nationally recognized programs. There are lots of incentives for the kids to do well, like a special kids' caf curtained off in the cafeteria, dress down days and Friday afternoon assemblies. The principal runs a tight ship and really prepares these kids for high school. My 8th grader is taking algebra. Involved parents, community support and a great reputation all make our kids proud to be Eastside Eagles.

my daughter has came home with d's on progress reports because the teacher didnt have time to put in grades . also my child went from a different school district to here was an advanced student and they refused to look at her old test scores and her record . ignoring she was an advanced student all year to sending a paper home at the end of the year to put her in advanced math next year . so there is a whole year that went by she was ignored . they also like to pick favorites and since the teachers and everyone is so close it is ignored and they take up for each other . i do like the principle but i think alot is covered up around her
