Teachers at this school are the most unprofessional adults I have ever seen in education or any field for that matter. They act like the students they complain about. As a fellow educator who used to work there, it was embarrassing seeing how they behave in the halls and at meetings. They bully, they talk about other adults in the hall which students then repeat, they form cliques like high school students, and talk down to students. I think there are some teachers who really care about the community but several have been there too long and are self serving. The teachers there will say their peers leave because of leadership (every leader that has been there apparently is not good enough) but the reality is they leave because of colleagues’ behavior that affects the toxic climate and leadership does nothing about it. There are teachers who won’t honor pronouns, or students’ identities. There are teachers who verbally abuse students. There are teachers who make racist comments in class. Again, there are teachers who are great and open but those are only a handful and many are leaving. Student behavior will never improve at East because teachers aren’t open to grow or learn to help improve outcomes. Middle school is hard, so it’s sad that the adults make it harder. Until there are consequences for staff behavior, the climate will never change.

great school, just needs remodeling from the crackes from the floor and the old lobbys also need to be remodeled, and the cracks in the walls...
