East Lake middle is a good school but should be called an assignment school for the amount of work they assign these kids. Yes, this is an advanced education school but they believe in massive amounts of homework nightly, on the weekends, and overall breaks. The teachers need to find a way like the other advanced education schools and complete more in class, so these kids can actually have after-school activities and life. The faculty is great and the school itself is very clean.
