I have three students at East- a senior, a junior and a sophomore. I was hopeful that with the previous Principal retiring; things would get better. They have not. Requests to speak with counselors and assistant principals go ignored.My kids complain that many teachers seem lazy and just do the minimum.My oldest daughter cuts classes regularly. I asked that the assistant principal contact me to have a conversation with her. A week later, he still hasn’t gotten back to me.To be fair, there are many teachers who stay after hours to help students and clearly try to do the best they can for students. Sadly, many do not.

Ms. Hall-Jones is awesome. Ms. Stewart and the teaching staff are exceptional. Mr. Palmer has done a good job building a strong legacy.

i like how the school is joyful.

As the principal of this school, I am so proud of the growth we have all made over the last couple of years. We are now a GREEN school in our neighborhood and we serve students in their native language of English or Spanish! We offer strong literacy programming that helps lift students further than they have been able to achieve before. In our K-1 classrooms we have a teacher and a paraprofessional in each room. We also have an amazing Essentials (think specials) team who supports small group reading during the day. This adds more direct support to the students. In addition, they teach Science, Art, PE, and Music which is offered to our students during the school day. We are continuing to make progress in our Math achievement and as a school, this is where we are learning as a staff. We are hopeful to see improvement this year with our overall student achievement in Math and Literacy for our students. There are also TONS of after school activities including: skateboard club, basketball camp, art club, choir, robotics, outdoor education, and tutoring. Our staff will always go above and beyond for our students. We like to have FUN! This means we also celebrate things like Tortilla Chip Day and sometimes have some whole school trivia challenges.Finally, we offer a loving relationship for our students where we focus on helping students learn how to be good people. While students have issues with others at times, we allow them to solve issues together and in cooperation. We believe in natural consequences that support student development. We use The Color Monster to help students identify their feelings and then we utilize Ninja Life Hacks to teach students a strategy to solve the issue at hand.

I have loved this school since day one. I now have two U Prep scholars

is the best school for my son, I am very happy with the teachers, with all the staff for the good treatment towards my son and me, it is an excellent school.

Our experience was a 9 out of 10. The teachers truly cared and went out of their way to be invested in student success academically, socially and emotionally.
