University High School

School is amazing. Teachers and staff and librarian are amazing. TAG program is awesome and helpful for kids who needs the extra challenge and also have programs for those who needs to catch up. They have great after school activities as well.

I agree with April 3, 2017 parent: The following has also happened to me and my sister while being at this school. I pulled my children out to attend another school. I'll add that teachers favor certain privileged students and treat most children like numbers. The atmosphere your child is in feels like a tense and catty office of adults who expect your child to act like they're clocking in to a 9 to 5 job and it feels nothing like an elementary school atmosphere should. Don't let the colorful paintings and wall art fool you, this place is not happy. Since moving to a different school my children's entire outlook and happiness with school has changed. They love going now and seem much happier! I watched their attitudes toward school change within the first week of being in their new school. Now to reiterate April 3, 2017 parent: This school is a hostile learning environment. Staff yell at their students and at parents. (especially the "redhead") I was yelled at during the pick up process after school and was literally appalled that they would yell at a parent that way. Appalled I had no idea they were yelling at me as by the way they behaved I thought it was at a child in front of me. The car rider pick up process is a disaster and they are completely unequipped and take their stress out on the children in stead of finding a better way to orchestrate the whole process. I am currently looking for a new home to get my child into a new school. I too have no clue how this school rates at a 9.

Nickel and dime you for everything. Why are we buying snacks for an entire class when we know it’s something our child won’t eat? Just give us an approved snack and provide for our own child. Everything costs money. Teacher didn’t understand our student, told us they didn’t know anything during reviews of educational progress because they are allowed to do whatever. Guess it works for some.

Refuse to help a child with severe autism. Decide that the only course of action they can take is denying education by suspension and sending said child home. Refuse to take action with an IEP service. Refuse to find any sort of assistance to further said child's education. Shame on you Eastwood. You've failed.
