Eastwood Middle School is fairly a good school and I say this for I have attended all 3 years. I…read morehave experienced all ups and downs of the school but still can say that this school is best for a child to bloom in. Eastwood Middle School lets children have the opportunity to do sports,join musicals, and even be in musical classes. This school also provides college help classes such as preparing for college and career(PCC), AVID, and Jag. All these classes are high-school credits as well so just there there are many options for your student to get the best start to their future. There are many oppurtunitys for your student at Eastwood Middle School.

This is the first year for my second daughter to attend Eastwood. Not much has changed since her 19…read moreyear old sister attended. After testing into four Honors classes, my youngest struggled with the transition and all of the homework, but her teachers were interested in finding the best solution for her success. Trying to fit in cross country practice and doing homework well past her bedtime, we decided to drop two of the classes, which has allowed her to learn at a better pace and have a social life. While FINO is available to assist students in getting their classwork done, I'd like to see a study hall or homework assistance plan without a 'stigma'. Many parents that I know punish their kids for getting it, I appreciate the variety of classes and extra-curricular activities offered. My daughter has enjoyed Cross Country, French, choir and playing the flute for the first time this year and is looking forward to participating in more athletics. There are a lot of parents involved in activities and it they seem very encouraging and supportive, which I appreciate, as a single working parent. I like to see that my daughter is happy and proud of what she's learning when she shares her day with me.
