We love East! Great school, great staff, great extracurriculars. Focus on all students. Opportunities to grow.
I've loved my time at East thus far! I've made fantastic friends, as well as many fantastic memories. I've had an academic track that was well suited for me, and found many extracurriculars to participate in. I think it is the perfect example of a school that is what you make it, so whatever type of student you are (or your child is), that is something to consider. My only personal complaints would be these: 1) That the focus of a decent part of the student body is not a primarily academic one, and 2) That I was not driven or encouraged by counselors, teachers, etc, to my full potential throughout my first few years. The second one actually worked out to my advantage, because I was able to realize how I could make myself what I hoped to be by my own prerogative. There are other little things I would change, but all the same, I would pick East again every time!
I definitely got a good education at Tosa East. The relatively large number of AP offerings allowed me to challenge myself in the classroom. By extension, I came into college last fall adequately prepared for undergraduate-level classes. The school also takes the arts very seriously. My experience in the orchestra at Tosa east helped develop my musical skills, which I am continuing in the UW-Madison Symphony Orchestra. And my experience with the school's We The People team (which went to the national finals the last four years) really pushed my limits as a writer, public speaker, and as a researcher.
Probably the most unique thing about Tosa East is that there is an extracurricular activity for almost everyone. While many schools have a school newspaper, a forensics team, Amnesty International and a theatre program, I am fortunate to have been exposed to such things as many schools lack diverse extracurriculars.
If there was one thing I would change (as someone who is in no way an educator), it would be to challenge students to be creative in science and mathematics. I learned good stuff in my AP classes, but each class seemed like nothing more than a pit stop; I learned things and then I left. Why not have a student science fair? The school has a battle bots team and an environmental club, but I would love to see more things like that in order to foster genuine interest from the students.
