[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean kids get bullied or beat up, or what’s happening at Eastern?[/quote]
The lunch room is a shit show. My child has not experienced bullies but definitely steers clear of certain groups of people. For example she says she approached a lunch table and was told to “get the F—-away”. I’m sure it happens at all middle schools, but IMO it’s worse at Eastern than our home middle school (my older kids have gone to home middle school). 
Her PE/health class is almost entirely ESOL so they can’t even seem to communicate to play games in PE. 
The facilities are beyond depressing. 
Think of all the reasons you don’t want to buy a home zoned to a low income school and that’s what Eastern is. Kids who don’t have parental supervision as much as they should, lots of absences, middle schoolers having sex, bad language (again true at all middle schools but rougher here).  It’s a very strange system to mix these two very different groups of kids, then label them magnet and comprehensive. Of course there is a divide. [/quote]

Echo this. Kids got bullied, lunch room is a big mess and no effective regulation is taken place. 
But the magnet program and the teachers are great!  [/quote]
