The only weird thing is that it is not a full time school, only for the winter months, so you go off your home schools material. The food is great, and the people are nice.

Her class has 6 kids. The teachers are so caring and my daughter loves it. Finding this school has probably been the best thing about our move out here.

PLEASE NOTE: This review is for the school as an event space and not as an educational facility,…read morethough I'm sure it's a great one (especially considering they're environmentally conscious - they've got a community garden on site for their students to learn in, solar panels, and they're Certified LEED Silver). I feel like I find myself at the East End Community School multiple times a year for awesome events, and I have to say - it's always just right. Does that make sense? Some "venues" in Portland seem too small or too large for whatever it is they're hosting, but everything I've ever attended at this location has always been just right. The right size, the right amount of parking, the right location, just everything is always on point. A couple things I've come to here... 1. Maine YogaFest (July) The YogaFest sprawls across the entire campus. I've done spa yoga in a room that had floor to ceiling windows overlooking Back Cove, I've done both aerial yoga and blacklight yoga in (what I think is) a gymnasium with very tall ceilings, and I've done vinyasa flow outside in a beautiful athletic field. Coming to EECS for this event feels like a vacation away from Portland - it seems quieter in this area of the city. Maybe because it's set up on a hill, has an impressive amount of open space, tree coverage, and fabulous flora? It just doesn't feel like it's Maine's largest city. 2. Art on the Hill Sale (December) Again, the art sale flows from room to room pretty effortlessly. I never feel cramped walking through, and despite the level, lighting, and space changes from room to room, it all just seems to work. I forget that I'm in a school! Anyway, if you're coming here for yoga, an art sale, a vegetarian food festival, a children's film event, a lecture... just know that you're in good hands!

The school did an amazing job of preparing them for College and for life and adapting for each of their goals. Their focus on critical thinking and excellent writing and presentation skills has served our children well. My daughter went on to get an MD/PhD at Duke and her final training in the Harvard system. My youngest son has held increasingly important roles in a major renewable energy company and my oldest son is an artist and LSW. I mention their trajectories to counter comments that this school doesn't prepare students for the real world. It was a sacrifice for our family to afford but so worth the investment. They are all happy and fulfilled.

Waste of my high school career. Coming in as a Junior I was given no accommodation for the…read moreintroductory classes freshman are required to take such as the "intro to art". For someone on a clear path toward Engineering College and as a junior at a new school, being forced to take an art course with a bunch of freshmen all year (while knowing not a single person in my actual grade) was the breaking point for me when it came to Waynflete. The intensity of the classes is low relatively and easy to breeze through, with the school more worried about being inclusive and making everything a "safe place" rather than having actual scholarly rigidity. The lack of AP classes is despicable for a "college prep" school that costs upwards of 20k a year. Because of Waynflete, I did not feel prepared for college in the math and sciences, unlike my peers who had intensive preparatory high schools classes with AP's. Waste of my parent's money. Past-student here, not a doting parent.
