I would not recommend that any child attend this school. This school is unsafe and dangerous for children, as there is no punishment for bullying. We are new to this area, and my 7th grader was assaulted in the bathroom during PE by a student much larger than him. My son reported it to the counselors and principal and they did nothing. He was afraid to return to school because they would not suspend or expel the student who attacked him. In the end, we had to homeschool our child for the rest of the school year. When we mentioned not bringing our child back to school, the principal (Seana Condit) was only concerned about him missing state testing. She had zero concern for the safety of children at this school. The student who assaulted my son is still on campus.

My twins have attended East Ave. since kinder and this school has been such a blessing for my sons. The teachers, staff, (Ms. Nikki/Mr. Nahal), and Principal Mr. Wilson are truly amazing and dedicated to each of the students. My sons are special needs in a mainstream class and at times have needed extra support and I have always left a meeting or event knowing East Ave. had my sons best interest for success at hand. We will miss East Ave. next year as my son's move on and just wanted to Thank East Ave. for such a great time building authentic genuine relationships we have made over the years. If you want a school that cares, offers opportunities, and supports your child's success, consider East Ave. Getting up the hill is well worth the walk, bus, or drive.

Both my children have excelled at Hayward High. My daughter is now entering her sophomore year at UC Berkeley and my son is definitely UC bound. Their AP program is excellent and prepped my daughter well for the academic curriculum at Berkeley. Just stay in your kid's "business", make sure they take challenging courses, stay respectful of their teachers and participate in sports or other clubs and your children will do well.
