I was nervous enrolling my children in this school due to the low test scores and what others said. I was wrong to worry!! My Kindergartener and First Grader have excelled during their time there. The teachers are wonderful. They are very patient with my over active little ones, and are always available to answer questions. There are so many activities that we as a family don't have time to participate in all of them. My children are in latchkey, and most of the time they beg me to stay when I pick them up. I am very impressed by the communication from the school in regards to my children. The only negatives I have are that they only have 1 recess, which doesn't seem like enough time for kids to be kids; and that the Parentlink has been down all year so I am unable to keep track of the children's progress without bothering the school (which they deal with well.) Overall very happy with this school.

The school generally has decent services for its situation. Being predominately lower-middle class, it’s fairly standard for a suburban school in a city of its size. Behavioral problems, while not rampant, certainly affect the student body. Generally, the Pre-IB program is quite well performing academically, and is largely satisfactory, as for the neighborhood students, performance tends to vary, although it is somewhat lacking.

East offers a range of educational opportunities from a very welcoming Special Education community to the high performing IB program and every need in between. The staff are very dedicated to student success and my daughter feels very safe there.
