Hello. My name is Sonya. As a former educator and parent of this school It sounds like you are a bit disgruntled. I have to ask if you were fired from this school ? It would seem to me that if you felt so strongly about what you are saying you wouldn't hide behind Anonymous. I'm having a hard time believing that there are no textbooks knowing the school is accredited, and backed by Eastern University, using their name. You also failed to list all the lies you are saying were told to students and parents in regards to the curriculum, What illegal things are you speaking of, exactly. My children are on the waiting list, and I would think that if it were that bad, there wouldn't be a waiting list. You are not very convincing. Try again anonymous, because you are not very helpful to parents, it seems as though you are just someone upset and trying to get even by saying mean things

i use to go to this school and i left because it was so poor and almost everything they said was a lie they told us that they give us free internet lie they told us that they have many connections with internship lie i went hear the first year it open the first week of school was a mess we didnt have textbook or lunch no lockers we didnt learn anything i felt like i was at a daycare the only reason why most people came to eastern because the principle told so many lies about this school to make it sound good we were in a basement not a school but some basement of a office i advice all you parents only choose this school as a last resort the only good thing about this school is that it was safe

Your paragraph consists of 143 words. You used no punctuations and you had multiple typos. It is unfortunate that the school you went to has not cared enough to improve your writing ability. The real disappointment is that you have not advanced beyond the academic level you were at in 2009, and 2012 is almost over. My daughter entered Eastern in 2009, and I am pleased. I made sure she took advantage of ALL the school had to offer. She has taken college classes, increased her SAT scores and is currently working on college applications. She even won a scholarship to PFEW (do some work for a change and Google it). This school works best when parents are involved.

Some of the comments are accurate; however, this is a school that is doing its best to provide a quality education. The teachers really care about their studens and many of the staff as well. I am concern about the education that is provided with respect to the interns. How does the school balance between internships and academics. It is troubling to see that many of the students cannot read, write, and properly construct an essay, yet they are out on internships. This should not be what type of program is the school operation-its seems to be another glorified hood school.

I am a parent of a child at EUACS. I attend board meetings and parent meetings. Most of the parents who are complaining think that the school is a baby sitting service---they are not involved. I do not see any parents there (maybe 12/13)unless its a talent night with free food. I email teachers and make my child and the teachers accountable for the education received or any lack thereof.
EUACS never promised anyone free internet; but the computers (laptops) that were supplied were stolen by the little hoodrat thieves and sold to a pawn shop and the school had to take a loss and so did any new students. Yes, there were charges filed, kids expelled and pending court dates.
There are good opportunities at the school, but if you don't study you will not be eligible--just as with any job--YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT!!! The laziest families think someone is just going to give you everything. Parents don't show interest in their own children--how is the school supposed to be more interested in your child's success than you?
The dumb a$$ remarks above--probably a kid who couldn't handle the work--are indicative of the kind of kids that expell themselves. Don't do homework, no class participation--won't even wear the uniform. Fail everything and think its someone's fault beside their own.
It is sad.

I am not that impressed about the organization of this school. I submitted enrollment application for my daughter more than three months ago, up till now the school has not acknowledge the receipt of the application.
My fear is that the application did not fall into wrong hand with my daughter ss number on it. Every other schools I applied to, sent me post cards and kept me informed about their lottery procedures and outcomes. It is very dissapointed that a school with a back up of a good University like Eastern University perform below expectation.
Iam not ready to condemn the school yet , I hope someone from the school will like to discuss this with me, I can be reached at 267-738-6725.

Eastern is one of the man charter schools with extreme "barriers to admission." Contact the School District and let them know. This is another example of how some charters "cherry pick" or "weed out" students.
