Very homered my grandchildren Bruce's and nephews attend East Side elementary Dr. Josh Wandell and his staff are amazing Greet every child with a smile call them by name has a little joke with them upon exiting their car going into school Just to start the child's day off with a smile and on an upbeat note Nothing but praise for this school and leadership

Elizabethton City Schools is awful! As a parent of a former student, I can personally attest to the fact that there is no support for parents or students. This is especially so when the students are discriminated against.

My son has been at this school for 2 years now and at first it seemed like a pretty good school, but as time went on I realized this school doesn't really do what they say they will do when you go to the welcome orientation at the beginning of each year, my son has never gotten in trouble or had a grade lower than a B since he's been in school until he started T.A Dugger Jr high, he says he doesn't feel safe in the school because other kids talk about shooting the place up and kids bring weapons to school and when reported nothing gets done. My son was getting bullied by some kids and when he stood up for himself he got suspended. The principal told a completely different story than what my son and some other kids told me that hadn't even talked to my son. I've heard from several different parents that they have experienced the same thing with their kid (s). I really think this school needs to take the safety of our children more seriously than they do, regardless if the threat is real or not I believe they should treat all threats as if they were real, and the bullying needs attention as well, how can a kid focus on their education if they feel unsafe in any way or they are being bullied by another student or staff member.
