I had three children who attended this school. They were all excellently prepared to attend college. One of my children thinks that some of the teachers at Eastern are much better teachers than those she has encountered in college. That child also thinks several of her high school classes were more challenging than the classes she took her first and second years in college. I came on to this site because I was reading elsewhere about a student in another school who had several things stolen from him during one school year. I think maybe one of my kids had one thing stolen at this school, and I'm unsure about that. Anyway, this was a nonissue for us. We felt like the students generally respect and leave each other alone. There are many honors and AP classes to take, and one of my children was able to get more than a year's worth of college credit through the AP courses she took. Yes, I wish there were smaller classes, more resources, and more teachers like the great teachers who are there, but nothing is perfect. I would say they should increase the number of counselors. The counselors are each responsible for too many people. Their workload is above the state average.

My children and I are more than pleased with this school and the staff. We love it!

My personal children have been students at Hawfields Middle School. It has high expectations for student achievement and behavior. The teachers and supporting staff teach in a differentiate classroom, where every child excels to their potential.
