East Side High School Reviews
Rating 3.66 out of 5 222 reviews
My school can be described with a lot of diversity, it also has many colleges opportunities which can make you receive college credits, that can help most of the students that are immigrants. It also provide different types of clubs and sports, like gardening club, or crochet and other varieties. But some negatives impacts on the school that needs to improve is probably the food, as not many students are satisfied with the lunch school, another thing I could like to add is probably also that the school would more reform.
East Side High School was a good experience, your surrounded by good people. The diversity in the school is amazing, as well as the amount of clubs and sports they offer. East Side welcomes everyone and makes you feel included and seen.
I really hated it here. I was always constantly harassed by the weird male students at this school and the school would just brush the situation aside. The teachers care more about the students than the useless staff here.
