I have 2 alumni and 1 currently enrolled at Eastlake. As part of the Sweetwater Unified school district, this school has Compact for Success which propels the 4 year attendees a guaranteed acceptance to SDSU as long as you meet requirements. Outside applicants without Compact Program Partnership with SDSU are hovering at 4.0+ GPAs requirement as an incoming freshman. Once you hit the college bound trajectory, you will realize how important it is for the Eastlake Curriculum. Eastlake offers the one of most AP classes which allows many graduates to be able to complete college in 3. Side by Side comparison to smaller/ Private schools can not even compare to the amount and diversity of the Eastlake AP classes. Unique to Eastlake is Japanese and the Dual Immersion Program, which many have started from kinder and continued into 12th grade. The school is very diverse and offers many clubs and sports, but what I find unique is the equal opportunity for girls in sports and artistic expression. Look up all the CIF State championships and you will see Eastlake at the top over many sports which is a testament to the admin and parent support of the community. If you are seeking the next steps for University which is a very competitive realm where test scores are optional, your child's academics along with accomplishments in their High School "resume" will be very important and when you are at a school where you can find a club or start a club, a school like Eastlake will allow the leadership. The Parent Association is like no other where the leaders are very connected in the community with new businesses and support to allow the funds for Eastlake School Spirit. As of 2025-26 the school is going through a major renovation which improvements which included a new football field, new weight room, new landscaping, updated library, updated Performing Arts, and parking. If your goal is for your student to have tools to prepare them for college, they will be more than ready. It starts with Eastlake Future Titian night as they welcome the 8th graders and it continues with the organized meetings from Southwest College, SDSU, and UCSD coming to visit the school.If you had to imagine a school with lots of school Spirit, Friday night Football games, Spirit Week, Robotics, and every Sport imaginable, this school is fantastic. The ASB is top notch. My kids had/have wonderful experiences academically & athletically, filled with supportive teachers.

Every school in Chula Vista has massive traffic congestion. Nothing is being done to address this. Instead, students are being punished by getting late slips and being forced to pick up trash. Overall, the Chula Vista school systems are terrible past the elementary level. Do not send your kids. The school demands complete compliance by letter of the law; however, if your child has an issue they do not care. They do not respond to calls or emails. In the area we live we pay thousands of dollars in Mello Roos. Plus, the district gets funding for attendance. Someone is running this district like a cost cutting project instead of an investment into our children. I hope that at least one person reads this and changes their mind about the substandard public service offered by Chula Vista schools.

Liberty is the BEST elementary in the district. Located in San Miguel Ranch which is a quick shot to Navy Bases, this school reflect the community involvement. The Parent Association is top notch with a very high level for support in the arts as they are the very few schools that put on a full blown musical with the kids from all ages. They offer dual immersion and the teachers are fantastic. Coming from a non Spanish speaking household, my kids are fluent in Spanish for reading and writing. Even when my daughter chose not to continue Spanish in high school, she was able to still score a 5/5. This school is a stepping stone for the Eastlake Middle and Eastlake High School and I know some may not see the long term path, but it is the TRIFECTA for the best schools for the College Preparatory. The Elementary school years are key for social, emotional, and friendships. The new Principal is amazing and there are many long term teachers at this school who are the backbone for a supportive experience. Liberty is a reflection of a wonderful community and it is intimate enough for the kids to all thrive and be kids.
