This was our first year. I told them my daughter had qualified for enrichment and they immediately followed up by calling her old school and the teacher and put her in to the AT reading and math program. It is challenging and just what she needed. She was picked on on the bus and after I told the school,

Some of the negative parents should be mindful of the challenges the staff face having so many new kids with their needs and anxieties to be learned and addressed. I think East View does an excellent job. My child is going to a brand new school next year but I wouldn't hesitate to keep her at East View if necessary. Read less

I have two children who attend East View. We moved from Naperville to Oswego and the thing that first struck me was how young all the teachers are! At any rate, the quality seems to be okay. My daughter qualified for reading support and I really felt that they did everything that they could to help.

I would have to give the school a B if I were to give a letter grade. They also post kids art work on a website called Artsonia which is really fun for sharing with out of town grandparents.

I agree with many of the review of the lack of discipline when it comes to bullying. We left the school three years ago to go to private. As far as education...not enough space to even begin to write about the lack of preparedness for high school. My two oldest left after 8th grade from 308 as honor

Thank goodness my kids have finally received a better education, though we have had to pay the expense for it. I would love to know where my tax dollars (that constantly increase) are really going to. Certainly not in a good ciriculum that actually teaches some of the most basic fundamentals of education!

My daughter came into the school with a little bit of trouble reading -- she was put into two pull out programs -- one 4 to 1, then later a 1 on 1... These pull-out programs caught her up totally and she exceeded the goals set for her -- I'm so pleased with this. She did fall and break her arm on the

My child attends this school and I feel that alot of responsiblity relies on the parents. When he has projects the majority are done at home and the teachers do not take any responsiblity for helping them complete or understand what they must do. He is in the 4th grade and he has alot of home work,

My children have been bullied excessively for years at this school. And nothing has been done. We have followed the chain of command only to be disappointed at every turn. The principal is not helpful and I wish I could afford private school because we would not be here. AT ALL!
