Mass loss of students, complaints about the former principal: lopez. I wish it was happy and safe and secure but i want to be honest, if i can save another kid from having the distracting, unwillingness to help, OR be gentle with kids with autism i would'nt run to this "special education system" for help. thank you. Ms jenkins, WE LOVE YOU.

The new administration is very slow to respond and if your child graduates, make sure there is an actual high school diploma instead of just the transcript.

I would leave a zero if I could, the principal at this school & some of the staff are just…read moreunbelievable! They fully believe that they are in control of everyone parents & students like that school is a prison..... The current issue is this: My son is in 8th grade at Bell Creek Academy & the principle there has started harassing him/us since last yr bc of his 504 & now IEP.....she insisted on failing him last yr so he is in 8th grade AGAIN this yr......she directed the teachers to not follow the IEP/504 rules, she was constantly asking us if he was coming back this yr, his math teacher (which she failed him in her class) called the students a bunch of monkeys, Ms. Fahringer told my husband my son wasn't intelligent enough to be at Bell Creek (he's in honors classes), told my husband the fact that I have stage 4 terminal cancer, my father/his grandfather died in November, his great grandfather died in November as well & his grandmother almost died last yr was not an excuse for him to struggle with his grades, he has anxiety disorder/ADHD, Depression & Asperger's, we also had to change his therapist/Dr last school yr but it's all no excuse for his failure..... School started last Thursday & bc I just had major surgery (had a mastectomy) the kids/we had a very hard summer, our kids grandparents came down last week (Wed-Friday) which they hadn't seen in almost a yr we decided to keep him home....we let the school know he would be there today (Monday 8/14) & what was going on & Ms Fahringer (the principal) even called us both on Thursday & Friday to harass us about our son not being there demanding us to enroll him somewhere else.....then today upon getting him to school my husband finds out that she unenrolled our son from Bell Creek!!! My husband has filed a complaint with CSA & Hillsborough Co Schools, we will also be filing complaints about her harassment bc of his disability & not following his IEP This Principle needs fired & is all the way around horrible for our students at Bell Creek

Fantastic School!!! Daughter has been going there since 6th grade,she currently is in 10th Grade…read more The teacher student ratio is excellent and she gets alot of 1 on 1. The school has made my daughter go from below level in Elementary school to honor roll. The teachers know the students extremely well and that helps with in today's society of threats as the school is a smaller private school. I would recommend this school to anyone wanting a school from 6th to 12th and their child has a IEP and needs extra help than what the public school provides. The owner is involved in the school and frequently visits. When a parent has any concern he quickly addresses them with the parent.

The staff is constantly Changing but at the same time also Constantly improving, one of the new teachers this year stands out above the rest to me, her name is Ms. Jesica she teaches a little of everything, English, Spanish, scianse, cooking....and the list keeps going, she makes school so fun while keeping it Structured. If your kids have an IEP, 504 plan or maybe just need something a little less Conventional than public school check this place out. I do many things but one is teach online at Jesuit Catholic University's, my field is Speachel education and educating teachers to teach successfully. This School is wonderful in my opinion, always room to change and improve but they are Spreading their wings still and always improving and learn to be the best school in the area for kids with needs.

School is very bad. Teachers don't care and will push the kids thru the grades even if they don't…read moreunderstand. As long as they show up and have good attendance, they advance to the next grade. My kid was getting in more lock down drills/false alarms/pranks/real scenarios than actually learning. This year they can't bring book bags bc of so many weapons and fights. Kids lit a bathroom on fire and school had to evacuate. Everyday is something. I wish I had better things to say, Teachers sit them in front of a computer and not even teaching them the actual lessons so they understand. Everything is done on an app and if ur child needs help with something you can't even help bc it's something they are doing at school on a pc. I just ended up homeschooling mine. I'm not taking any chances.

The bountiful…read moreamount of support and care that I receive from the whole school cannot be explained, only lived by. I moved to Florida by my junior year and completed my Junior and soon will finish my Senior year here and I'm glad I became an Indian (our mascot). The school atmosphere is amazing and if your child comes here with the determination and grit to do better and get their education, that's what will happen. East Bay seems to be notorious for fights and various altercations, however it's only a small few handful of individuals that cause such chaos. East Bay has deputies on campus for our safety, wholesome lunches, caring and attentive teachers/staff and even more so, fabulous academic connections. I've been able to apply for various scholarships throughout Hillsborough County and there are also scholarships given SPECIFICALLY for East Bay students only. How amazing is that!? The principal Mrs. Cox knows about every single student by name, she's caring and wants the best for her students and staff. Cox has also done a scholarship workshop which has also helped me and various other students with scholarship applications and taught us how to "sell ourselves" in order to earn the money. The assistant principals (AP's) like Mrs. Garcia, Mrs. Cummings, Mr. Gunn and even Mr. Williams are extremely attentive and caring, making sure all students are doing what their supposed to do and making sure their in class. I haven't played a sport at this school, but I have heard great things about football and other sports as well. I've even seen one of my classmates have a signing and going to the school of his dreams for doing what he loves! If you're moving from somewhere or want to transfer your child to a new school, East Bay High School is the place to do so!
