Eastwood Elementary School

"The new principal is wonderful and is very interactive with the children. The PTA program is very good and there are lots of volunteers for school events."

"Unfortunately Eastwood has suffered under the 8 almost 9 year term of the current principal. As a result of this current administration Eastwood suffers greatly. There is no advocacy for our children, staff members or families. I have never been aware of any meeting called by the principal to discuss issues unless it was directly mandated by the district, mostly relating to the budget, and we are lucky if that happens once per year. It is also usually at 9 am, so our working parents are unable to attend. Our teachers aren't supported and give off the impression that they have given up. Most of them don't participate in extra curricular activities or events unless it is mandatory in their contract. The office staff in unfriendly, hostile and rude. The parents volunteers are unwanted and unappreciated. There are also major issues of retaliation by the principal by any comments or suggestions for improving Eastwood's current situation. We have lost many families and countless staff because of these issues. The district has been informed of these issues in MANY different meetings per year since 2003. Most parents have given up hope as our concerns fall upon deaf ears. State test scores speak for themselves."
