Going to school at Eastside high school is wonderful experience. I have been going to this school for three and a half years and I loved stepping foot on campus each and everyday. The school has very friendly environment and its filled with wonderful people. The first day I stepped foot onto campus, I at least made about 20 new friends. And as the first week rolled by, I racked up about a total of 50 new friends with a diverse mix of races and colors. The teachers at Eastside are even more wonderful! We have excellent teachers that make hard material seem like the work is effortless and facile. The teachers at Eastside will also take time out of their free time to help you with material that you didn't really understand to well.
What I liked about Eastside High School is the sports community. Being involved in two sports, I enjoyed the team and the coaches. The team is very accepting and kind, that no matter your skills or experience, all they care about is your personality. The coaches are the same, they are motivating and compassionate. They look after our physicality, making sure that we are not pushing ourselves to an injury. I have made many friends through sports and I plan to meet more amazing people. Another thing that I liked about Eastside High is the NJROTC program. It taught me great discipline and improved my fitness. One thing that I hope would change in Eastside High is the overwhelming separation between the major and IB program. I want greater interaction between both programs and less comparison. As a result, Eastside High School can build a community where everyone is associating and working with each other.
The school has a lot of good teachers and classes, but the IB program is very unorganized and you often get deadlines for IB requirements around the time that they are due. Some teachers also don't explain requirements, like IAs very well and you must learn how to do it on your own. The program is very rigorous, but it is helpful in preparing you for college. Most graduates say that their freshman year of college is easier than their junior and senior years at Eastside. Overall, the school and the program have good classes and the teachers are fairly good at teaching, it just needs to be more organized.
