Posted by a community member on 7/8/2025During my years at East Side, I was able to learn and improve who I am with the help of teachers and other students. The experiences I had at school were mostly good and cool, I wouldn't trade this school for anywhere else.

Posted by a student on 7/1/2025East Side High School is honestly a great place to grow, not just academically, but personally too.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child attends this school for Kindergarten, I was thinking it would be a good school for her, but how wrong I was. This school does not care about the students, my child teacher was horrible, she waited to have the first meeting to let me know my child was struggling to be on special ed, this was already in the middle of year, the teacher never reached out to me before to letting me know, and her demeanor to my child was always the same in every meeting she wanted to "ship" my child to another school far away as my child was a problem to her, thank god I always was opposed to that and request my child to be reevaluated! Conclusion they did not send my child to a different school, my child was approved to have Special Ed but never was given to her because was already too late (the school, special ed office and teacher didn't care) and I was over the school, especially the teacher and all of them. If you love your child and you decide to have them attending this school be their advocate because this school only want's the perfect kids no special ed kids. The best i did was move my child from this school to never again!Parent Review9mo ago - Newark Educators Charter School

The school focuses primarily on early elementary education, serving students from Pre-K through 4th grade.My daughter, who is currently in the 3rd grade, absolutely loves her school and is learning a great deal each day. She genuinely looks forward to going to school, which speaks volumes about the caring and dedicated staff, teachers, and administration.I’m so grateful to have found this school—it’s been an incredible environment for my child’s growth and learning.Parent Review6mo ago - Alpha and Omega
