This is a great school if you want to be on the path to a 4 year university, I’m sure this is many student’s goals however, Eastside College Prep provides a clear lay out and plan for successful admission into college. My experience here for the past 3.5 years has been both challenging yet compelling simultaneously. I receive great support from teachers and have been able to develop connections with the teachers and staff so that I could take full advantage of the opportunity I was given here at Eastside.
Eastside definitely prepares you for college. However, the faculty definitely underestimates the abilities of the students and especially the parents. Since Eastside is a school that serves students from underrepresented backgrounds they tend to believe that the parents of students are incompetent. The school is also very controlling of what the students do. The schedules are organized and set in stone and students must attend summer classes at the school. There is little opportunity to do things outside of the school. Even when it comes to applying for colleges and universities the college advisor tends to convince students to shy away from schools Eastside students have never attended. Other than these issues, the school definitely prepares you for college.
It's a really small school so it's really supportive to the students. It only has 270 people and it's privately funded. Every student has a sponsor that pays 19,000$ of their tuition. Being at this school is really mentally draining and difficult, so it's a really good college preparatory school, that also sends 100% of their students to 4 year colleges, which makes me feel really safe and ready for a bright future when attending the school.
