GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall East Link is a wonderful school. The Mandarin teachers are definitely the highlight of the school. I wish they had better quality English-speaking teachers. Many of them seem burned out and have very poor communication. They have a library but after 2 years my child has never been able to check a book out. They also need a better playground. It's very limited and my child says he and his classmates get hurt a lot due to the majority of it being concrete. The communication from the administration could be better. Everything is very last minute which as a working parent is tough. I've missed several school activities due to not knowing until 1-2 weeks before. My son enjoys learning Mandarin and all about Chinese culture. Thankful to have the opportunity to send him here even though improvements are desperately needed soon.

The teachers real...

We ignored several red flags because we wanted our kids to learn a second language. First, most teachers didn’t send their own kids to the school. Second, there was high turnover among students and staff. Third, my kids dreaded school due to fear of teachers. During a Zoom lesson, I witnessed a teac...

I started at East Link Academy when it first opened, and I have mixed feelings about it. Some teachers were really nice, but most of them didn't have much experience and seemed angry a lot. We often felt ashamed, and it was hard to focus on learning because we were scared of them. Some teachers woul...
