About this school

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

We are a grade 6-12 college preparatory academy with a challenging and engaging curriculum. Our teachers know the students well and address each student's individual needs. Students love our small class size, our amazing teachers, the sense of community, and the countless special programs we offer, including our free and extensive after-school tutoring, arts, sports, leadership, travel, and academic enrichment programs. Students also rave about the unparalleled selection of books. Parents appreciate the communication and personalized attention they receive at East Side and regularly comment on its private-school feel. We have a school-wide commitment to celebrating diversity, promoting social justice and combating racism, sexism, homophobia, classism and any other form of discrimination. Each student has an advisor who provides ongoing academic, social, and emotional support, and communicates regularly with the family. Students and families greatly appreciate that college prep and awareness begins in sixth grade. All students develop graduation portfolios in the core subjects. Students present and defend their work to committees twice a year through our portfolio roundtable presentations. This school will give priority to applicants eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL) for up to 65 percent of the seats.
