Eastern Senior High School

"Full IB school. Robust Health/Med Sciences Academy with paid internships & opportunity to graduate as a certified EMT. Core classes are challenging, with lots of projects and several trips off campus. There are many electives/activities/clubs/sports to choose from (moot court, AP psyc), staff is wonderful, location is great, active parent population. Band is amazing. Library is very active with author visits and film screenings."

"The special education is the worst when children have 501 plans and they have slow learning disabilities and also they have behavior issues they're excluded from other activities and also they consider children as being absent everyday when they are still coming to school the school has the worst quality in the world when I say if your here your child is here she is still considered absent The teachers hold grudges they are not professional at all their tolerance is very low they tell you that your child is being defiant calls you constantly when you have a 504 plan and that implements a whole lot the behavioral specialist worst some of the teachers hold so many grudges that if they don't get along with the parents they will fail the children. Because they hold grudges misgivings is one of them"

"I am a rambler graduate. I graduated in 1967 at the starplex amory. The prom was at the Washington Hilton. The years it spent studying at Eastern was rewarding and instructive. I went on to Howard University to major in architecture a major in design a minor in construction."

"I attended Eastern from 2003-2007, and I had the time of my life. The people I've met, the teachers I've had, the administration team, the best band in the land, the choir under the direction of Mr. Davis, etc. will forever be in my memories. After 2007, the school went under reconstruction and today Eastern is a much better school for learning. The neighborhood is better as well. It was truly different when I attended."

"Since I'm not a student here, I cannot speak to the academics or school culture, but as a neighbor, I can speak to the location, building, and campus. Eastern High School is a beautiful building on Capitol Hill East just a few blocks from the Stadium-Armory Metro Station. Behind its historic building is a football field that is open to the public to work out in when school is not in session. During the summer, I wake up at 6AM and watch the sun rise over the football field as I do my work out on the perfectly even grass and run a few laps around the track. I've seen others walk the bleachers for a good exercise."
