Most homeworks are done online where help is available to the child. The principal, assistant principal, teachers are all extremely welcome and there is an open door policy. The school is in a very safe neighborhood and the school is packed with cameras, which is amazing for the safety of the children. Unfortunately a charter school isn't for everyone. If you can't learn to follow RULES this school would not be a good match. If you like to socialize, engage with the child's education and volunteer then this is definitely a great school. GO Lightings !!!!!!

Charter schools operating as for-profit real estate schemes are draining money meant for students…read moreand teachers. Florida, it's time to pay attention. A recent analysis of Education Management Organizations (EMOs) operating in Florida uncovered a striking example: a charter firm and its construction partner sold two newly built schools to their affiliated real estate partner -- one for just $1, the other for $10. Once the real estate firm took over the leases, it raised the rent on the school that sold for $1 all the way up to $1,325,666 per year. That's public education money -- money meant for classrooms, teachers, and students -- flowing straight into a related company's pocket through an inflated lease. Florida taxpayers deserve to know where their school dollars are actually going.

They don't offer much in the way of ESE or any enrichment classes that might be needed for a struggling student or someone with a disability. Classrooms are clean overall ratio to teachers pretty decent not overcrowded the most we've had in the class was 20. It is a pretty crowded school 7 kindergarten classes!! Mrs. O'Neill does an excellent job in the drama and creative production department. Ms. Redlawsk for Art A+ or Mr. Marea in the music dept. Excellent I've had the pleasure of being part of the PTA now for 7 years, and I've seen quite a few changes and principles all of which have their positive and negative's.

I've had a terrible experience with this and sadly my daughter has been mistreated by Mrs. Burguri and Mrs. Kent. Two kindergarten teachers that have not cared for her properly. Mrs. Burguri even went as far as accusing her of soiling herself on purpose and that she believed she enjoys being dirty. The principle doesn't cares to help or correct the problem either.

The bountiful…read moreamount of support and care that I receive from the whole school cannot be explained, only lived by. I moved to Florida by my junior year and completed my Junior and soon will finish my Senior year here and I'm glad I became an Indian (our mascot). The school atmosphere is amazing and if your child comes here with the determination and grit to do better and get their education, that's what will happen. East Bay seems to be notorious for fights and various altercations, however it's only a small few handful of individuals that cause such chaos. East Bay has deputies on campus for our safety, wholesome lunches, caring and attentive teachers/staff and even more so, fabulous academic connections. I've been able to apply for various scholarships throughout Hillsborough County and there are also scholarships given SPECIFICALLY for East Bay students only. How amazing is that!? The principal Mrs. Cox knows about every single student by name, she's caring and wants the best for her students and staff. Cox has also done a scholarship workshop which has also helped me and various other students with scholarship applications and taught us how to "sell ourselves" in order to earn the money. The assistant principals (AP's) like Mrs. Garcia, Mrs. Cummings, Mr. Gunn and even Mr. Williams are extremely attentive and caring, making sure all students are doing what their supposed to do and making sure their in class. I haven't played a sport at this school, but I have heard great things about football and other sports as well. I've even seen one of my classmates have a signing and going to the school of his dreams for doing what he loves! If you're moving from somewhere or want to transfer your child to a new school, East Bay High School is the place to do so!

We attended a program last night at the school where the school patrols were given their well-deserved badges, and where the teachers informed parents on many exciting things happening in class and many more to come. This school is definitely headed for an A school rating. Great Job!!!

The English teacher is also a guidance counselor which means there's less teaching. The people are awesome and nice though and my family loves them. Just wished they'd fix these

The school itself isn't terrible. Though, there is a specific teacher, Mr. Lucas, who is also the…read moredean of the school. He doesn't have an ounce of kindness and is nothing but mean to the students. He makes snarky comments and is basically bullying the students. He takes advantage of his job and gives out detentions and suspensions for no reason, and most of the time, the students don't even deserve them. It seems like there is nothing but negativity and hatred in his heart. If the school did a student survey to ask if they've ever felt attacked or uncomfortable by Mr. Lucas, 95% of the students would say yes. I really do hope that God finds him because as of right now, it seems like he doesn't have the Gospel in his life, despite working at a Christian school. I truly believe that this guy is not fit for his job at all.
