Overall, I had a great high school career here! It was everything I could hope for in a high school - the teachers are fantastic, and everyone is really kind, even across social barriers (such as jocks and band geeks). They also are famous for their great treatment of handicapped students - they often got to be homecoming royalty, and were treated very kindly by all types of people there.
My only complaint is that as a co-founder of the marching band, the school tends to not give much attention or money to the music program despite its outstanding record and awards won every year. Even when students got to travel the world based on musical achievement or the band went to state championships in multiple areas, there were no announcements unless we pushed the administration.

My experience at EC has been pretty great overall. Eastside has some amazing teachers and faculty that are super knowledgeable in their fields and do everything they can to help students succeed. From my experience, students in higher level classes typically have really good learning experiences even though they are challenged a lot. There are some lapses in the schools programs—there are bad teachers mixed in with the great ones—but I feel that I have learned a lot in my time here.
I had amazing teachers who truly cared how we did, and was beyond prepared for college despite taking only a handful of honors/AP classes. Some sports are less recognized than others but the football game experience is great. Partying is there, it’s high school, but not as bad as local public schools. Socially, it is small but people seemed to be relatively nice to each other across friend group boundaries. They have had some administration problems recently.
