East Side Union High School District a great district. Despite being in a low-income/middle-class neighborhood, the district does a great job providing equal opportunity for all their students to excel in their interests and talents. The staff are amazing and are dedicated to providing the best education for their students to prepare them for college. Furthermore, the district also provides highly advanced technologies such as Chromebooks, Macbook, and Apple computers to enhance their student's learning. The school environment is very welcoming with diverse students from all racial backgrounds. Overall, the East Side is a great district with great potential to grow.
I enjoy the diversity in the East Side Union High School District. I am surrounded by a variety of cultures and I love it! I do feel safe, even when fights arise. Those conflicts are resolved quickly. In terms of academics, there could be a major improvement. Some teachers are nice people, but terrible teachers. This mainly applies to math teachers. The math department could definitely improve to strength their teaching. In addition, the food can be better taste-wise and health-wise. Healthier and tastier foods should be provided to ensure proper nutrition and consumption.
The school district itself makes a great effort in supporting the individual schools in getting what they need for the sake of the quality of education. At my school Piedmont Hills High School, there is a strong emphasis on science and technology, which is supported by the new science building we received. However, the district office is notorious for not maintaining clear communication with my school's administration. They failed to communicate with my school's music/ theater department about the planning of a new art building and took too long to act on a health issue concerning the poor ventilation in our old performing arts center. These issues are not present in some other schools in the district, so ESUHSD could work on treating all of their school with equity in the future.
